Hellon: “I’m being compensated by hundreds of millions” by the Government

Over the past two years, Joseph Hellon has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. At the Hilton during one his performances, Jalang’o, who was the Mcee for the day, asked Hellon about his now seemingly abandoned political ambitions.

Despite being the b**t of Jalang’o’s jokes earlier in the night, the jazz maestro was nice enough to answer the question, “What became of my political ambition? Well, in 2010 things happened. I was taken to court, I was jailed, I was being set up. I later defeated the government, I’m being compensated based on that fact. I’m being compensated in hundreds of millions…”

As if Hellon knew what was coming next, he paused and the crowd took the cue to laugh at the revelations. He then continued, “I will tell you. For illegal arrest, illegal incarceration, illegal persecution, thereby giving the media fodder for slander.”

Hellon was in the news in 2010 following revelations that Esther Arunga, one of the most in-demand newscasters at the time, had left her job at KTN to join Hellon’s cult-like church, The Finger of God. The crew together with Quincy Timberlake took the opportunity to inform the media that they are forming a political outfit with which pursue political positions in the next general elections.
