Omondi’s initiative has sparked nationwide conversation. Will this symbolic march pave the way for meaningful dialogue between the government and its youth? Only time will tell.

Celebs who could be voted into government if they vied

With celebrities coming together to condemn the recent Finance Bill, it got me wondering, which of these celebs could actually vie for office to make a change from within? Here is my list of celebrities who I think could actually be voted into government if they vied:

1. Eric Omondi

The man has recently rebranded into a philanthropist and nothing connects with Kenyans like some well meaning generosity. Babu Owino has already come out in public to state that ODM is preparing a seat for him in Nairobi

2. Lynn Ngugi

The “Oprah Winfrey of Kenya” has been blazing a trail with her videos uncovering the trials and tribulations ordinary Kenyans pass through. As one of the most respected and influential digital personalities in the country, she has also been known to mobilize funds for the needy through her YouTube channel. This is one of the main things voters would look for in a leader

3. Njugush

Much as he is a comedian, his content is extremely relatable with the common mwananchi. He also takes breaks from comedy every now and then to give some activist commentary on the state of Kenyan leadership, which implies that he might be looking to transition into that arena some time in the future

4. Andrew Kibe

The man already tried once to vie for the Lang’ata MP seat and failed. He might want to try again now that he is one of the most notorious Kenyans around. He would have big support from a section of men but he would struggle to gather votes from women as he has bashed them heavily in the past

5. Churchill

The expert storyteller is one of the few celebrities around who has been able to mobilize crowds across the country with his Churchill Show tours. He has also had a slot on prime time national TV for the past 17 years, which gives him name recogniti0n across the country on the same level as some of our biggest politicians

Eric Omondi calls for women with his late brother’s children to come forward

Comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi has called upon any women who had children with his late brother, Fred Omondi, to come forward.

Fred tragically lost his life in a road accident on Saturday, June 15, after a night out.

“Wawili washafika home. Wale watu wanakuja wanasema wako na watoto wa Fred tafadhali wafanane na Fred,” he remarked.

Terence Creative, a fellow comedian and close family friend, also made a similar plea during the memorial, emphasizing the importance of clearing any uncertainties regarding Fred’s responsibilities.

“We don’t want anyone to come and destroy our brother’s name that he is not raising children. If you are out there and you have Fred’s baby, please see Eric. Also, if Fred owed you a debt, make sure you see us today after this,” Terence urged.

“Someone I’m happy to own, I have a very lovely daughter. She is an angel anaitwa (her name is) Arielle,” he shared during an interview with Switch TV.

Eric Omondi expressed his gratitude to Kenyans who contributed towards the funeral expenses for his brother.

Comedian Terence also shared that he was the first person to learn of Fred Omondi’s sudden passing.

“When the incident happened, coincidentally the officer that was on site is my family friend. He called me and was like, ‘unajua ndugu ya Eric?’ I asked him which one? Because he is an officer, a traffic officer and before you register things….” Terence said.

Fred Omondi will be buried on Saturday, June 29, at his home in Sega, Siaya County.

May his soul rest in peace.

Not a Coincidence! Eric Omondi Reveals Hidden Details About the Day His Brother Died

Fred Omondi, Eric’s younger brother, died in a bodaboda (motorcycle taxi) accident on June 15. This incident occurred during a crucial period of anti-Finance Bill protests led by Eric, raising several questions about its timing.

Despite having to plan his brother’s funeral, Eric continued participating in the demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024. His decision to protest while mourning was met with criticism and curiosity from the public.

Addressing these concerns, Eric explained that his brother’s death could not deter him from fighting for what he believed in. He highlighted several unresolved aspects of the accident, questioning its coincidence with his active involvement in the protests.

“Some people said I am mourning my brother, why did I come out to demonstrate. There are theories. This is the week of the Finance Bill. Who has been at the forefront to fight for this? Eric Omondi. So, is it a coincidence that this week my brother died?” Eric questioned.

Eric shared details that intensified his suspicions. He visited the accident site and noticed bloodstains, but the motorcycle driver was nowhere to be found. Eric questioned the driver’s sudden disappearance, considering the severity of the accident.

“My brother was being carried. We went and even saw the motorcycle. But where is the driver? The accident was bad, we even saw blood there. But the driver disappeared? That impact. People say he ran away. Where is he even?” Eric pondered.

Eric Omondi’s determination to protest despite personal tragedy underscores his commitment to the cause. He believes that if his brother’s death was indeed orchestrated to distract him from the protests, it would be a grave injustice. Eric emphasized that he would not let Fred’s death be in vain and would continue to fight against the Finance Bill.

“That’s why I went to protest because even when I sleep and wake up, I feel like this theory might be true. I don’t want to speculate, but it is also life. It could be true. If they thought they would distract me from fighting against the bill, then we will not lose Freddy for nothing,” Eric stated.

Eric Omondi Arrested For Demonstrating Against Financial Bill

The protestors, under the banner of the “Mama Mboga Revolution” (Swahili for “Market Woman Revolution”), held signs and scattered vegetables, likely sukuma wiki (collard greens), at the parliament entrance. Police apprehended Omondi and took him to the Parliament police station.

Eric Omondi Demands Apology From KFCB After They Targeted YouTubers

Kenyan comedian and activist Eric Omondi is leading a call for a public apology from the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) following its recent regulations targeting YouTubers.

The controversy arose when the KFCB issued notices requiring content creators to obtain licenses for their YouTube channels and pre-approve their content before uploading. Omondi, along with other creators, saw this as disrespectful and dismissive of a thriving industry.

In a public interview, Omondi emphasized that simply withdrawing the notices wasn’t enough. He demanded a formal apology from the acting CEO within 14 days, threatening removal from office if it wasn’t issued.

“We won’t tolerate disrespect from the KFCB anymore,” Omondi declared. “Content creation is a legitimate source of income, especially for young people struggling to find jobs. The board should be supporting us, not hindering our work.”

This pressure seems to be working. Following Omondi’s statements, the KFCB chairperson, Njogu Wa Njoroge, backtracked on the regulations. He acknowledged the importance of supporting content creators and announced plans to engage with stakeholders in the digital content creation industry.

Eric Omondi exhorts citizens of Nairobi to defy Sakaja’s directives and record Kanjos

Renowned comedian turned activist, Eric Omondi, has taken a firm stance against Governor Johnson Sakaja’s recent directive to county inspectorate officers, commonly known as Kanjo, a move that has stirred controversy.

On April 1, the county leader instructed Kanjo officers to arrest any individual caught recording or taking pictures of them while on duty.

In an exclusive interview with Nairobi News, Eric Omondi criticized Sakaja, branding him as the foremost content creator who is stifling others.

“Have you not seen Sakaja on TikTok? He is the top content creator. He lacks the authority to prohibit anyone from recording in the city,” suggested the comedian.

Omondi, popularly known, urged every Nairobi resident to start recording Kanjo officers who engage in the brutal harassment of Kenyans.

“We will take legal action against them for brutality, corruption, and unlawful arrests. We demand that Kanjo officers must identify themselves before making any arrests. They should display their identification cards and inform you of your alleged offense,” he emphasized.

According to the comedian, the governor has mismanaged the county, allowing Kanjo officers to violently extort from Nairobians under the guise of carrying out their duties.

“Kanjo officers are plundering Nairobi through violence. They abuse their uniforms to hide their corruption, soliciting bribes everywhere,” Eric lamented.

Asked about his support for Governor Sakaja, Eric expressed disappointment, stating:

“I voted for him, and it’s disheartening how he has let us down. I believed in him as a young person because I thought he understood the struggles of the youth. He once identified with us, having been involved in gospel music. However, he is now intoxicated by power and has forgotten those who propelled him to his current position. He is persecuting us and shying away from accountability.”

The comedian further called for mandatory cameras on Kanjo officers to monitor their actions, highlighting his own experiences of being targeted despite his efforts to assist them.

“Nairobi is not your house, Sakaja Johnson. We will impeach you. The drainage systems are not working; nothing is working. Your priorities are upside down; your officers kicked a woman in the stomach as I watched. Brutality must stop. We will record them daily,” Eric added.

He vowed to continue recording Kanjo officers until they cease their abusive conduct towards Kenyans while carrying out their duties.

Eric happened to be one of the witnesses on an operation by the Kanjos, where he claims they beat up women and mis-handled their goods.

Eric took to his social media to condemn the act, terming it as uncouth. He recalled an incident where one of the women was kicked on the stomach during the operation.

Sakaja Supports Kanjo

Upon seeing the videos recorded of Kanjos, Sakaja has now urged them to arrest those who record them while they work.

”Kwani mtu akifanya kitu mbaya anafaa aimbiwe wimbo? Order must be maintained. We want a city with order. Na hawa watu wa kuwa record, shika hao pia. That is obstruction of enforcement of justice. Do your work, do the right thing. What you’re doing is needed,” Sakaja said.

Eric’s Response

In response to Sakaja’s sentiments, Eric Omondi has now reiterated his statement, warning Sakaja on impeachment.

”Nairobi is not your House. WE WILL IMPEACH YOU. Nai Hai work. The Drainage Systems are not working, Doctors are Striking. Nothing is working. Your Priorities are Upside Down. Your Regime is the Worst in the History of Nairobi. Your Officers kicked a woman in the Stomach as I watched in broad Daylight what if she was Expectant. The BRUTALITY MUST STOP!!! We will RECORD THEM DAILY. CONTROL YOUR MEN or we will do it for you!!!,” Eric wrote on his Instagram.

Fans reacted to the post with most of them foreseeing Kanjos mistreating business people following Sakaja’s statement.

Eric Omondi To The Rescue Yet Again As He Vows To Help Un-Employed Kenyans Get Jobs

Popular Kenyan entertainer Eric Omondi, has shifted his focus to activism, aiming to bridge the gap between unemployed youth and potential employers.

Through his Instagram platform, Omondi called upon unemployed graduates and aspiring entrepreneurs to attend a meeting on March 26th at the Blue Springs Hotel. He promised to connect attendees with job opportunities and support their business ideas.

“The response from graduates seeking work was overwhelming,” Omondi stated, “but there’s a solution! We’ve secured numerous job openings thanks to generous Kenyans.”

“If you are a graduate without a job come to Blue Springs Hotel Thika Road opposite Gardens City tomorrow. We are meeting at 8:30 am usichelewe!!! Iko kazi!!! Kazi iko!!!! We are going to provide employment and job opportunities to all our brothers and sisters. We have already acquired numerous jobs from Kenyans of goodwill,” he captioned the video.

This initiative comes after a series of events in March 2023 where Omondi actively campaigned for job creation. He was previously arrested for attempting to deliver resumes to the State House and for distributing food aid in Nairobi.
Eric Omondi has also been the founder of ‘sisi kwa sisi’ foundation, which has helped a good number of needy citizens.

“Sahizi, I’m not a comedian,” admits Eric Omondi.

Comedian-turned-digital content creator, activist, and philanthropist Eric Omondi has opened up about his absence from the comedy scene, attributing it to the lack of receptiveness among Kenyans towards humor.

In an interview with Plug TV media, Eric addressed the question of whether he still identifies himself as a comedian.

“Can Eric still be considered a comedian, or should we remove that title altogether?” the interviewer asked.

In response, Eric revealed his decision to distance himself from the comedian label, stating his disinterest in continuing with comedy. “At this point, Eric Omondi is no longer a comedian because there’s nothing amusing in Kenya,” he firmly declared.

Expanding on his stance, Eric pointed out the prevailing somber atmosphere in the country, which, in his view, made comedy irrelevant.

He stressed that given the nation’s circumstances, there was little to find humorous or laughable. “Nobody is in the mood for laughter; people are grappling with depression. In fact, I believe we should ban all comedy shows in the country. There’s no room for smiles or laughter. You can’t crack jokes at a funeral, it’s just not appropriate,” he asserted.

Reiterating his viewpoint, Eric underscored the seriousness of the situation, acknowledging the widespread grief and financial hardships faced by many.

“The prevailing mood in Kenya is one of sorrow, not conducive to jokes and comedy. Until things improve, until there’s a change, comedy is off the table. Who will find humor in these circumstances? Why? At what time?” he candidly expressed.

He challenged the interviewer to interact with random individuals on the streets, confident they would share his perspective on the absence of humor amidst the current challenges.
