Lang’ata Member of Parliament and entertainer Phelix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang’o, has stepped in after ODM DJ Pinto Cahill publicly complained about unpaid dues, promising to follow up on the matter.
The response came after Cahill shared a frustrated post on Facebook listing several rallies and events where he claims he was either not paid or given only minimal transport support.
In the post, the DJ said he had reached a breaking point after repeatedly offering his services without proper compensation.
“HAKI YANGU IS ALL I ASK FOR. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he wrote.
He went on to list a number of engagements, including rallies in Kisumu, Migori and Narok, as well as meetings in Nairobi and Bondo, which he claims were not settled.
According to Cahill, some events saw him receive only KSh 7,000 as transport, while others were not paid at all. He questioned how long the situation would continue, asking, “How much is enough?”
DJ Pinto Cahill had earlier expressed frustration that the ODM Party Linda Ground brigade led by Oburu Oginga was yet to pay him after five days of non-stop mobilization work for the Kisumu Wabiro Event.

The exchange drew online reactions, with users expressing support for Pinto Cahill and calling for the timely payment of creatives involved in political events.
Some pointed to the need for proper contracts, while others criticized the situation, questioning how large-scale rallies can handle logistics yet allegedly fail to compensate entertainers.

“They should pay you bwana, how can they hire all those buses and cannot pay for entertainment? No, enough is enough,” wrote Ngatai.
