Eric Omondi is feeling the heat from the Milimani Law courts, where he’s currently being held. Eric yesterday was arrested for staging a protest in Kenyatta Avenue over the high cost of living.<\/p>\n

Staging a one-man protest in the middle of the Central Business District, Omondi dramatically threatened to kill himself if the high cost of living is not reduced before he was arrested by police.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Omondi has been arrested and it won\u2019t be the last if he is to be believed.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview last week, Omondi said that he was contemplating retiring from comedy after 15 years.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cComedy is done for now. People are suffering and it’s not a laughing matter. I don’t belong to any political outfit\u2026It is a serious time. We are in tough times. People are suffering, they are starving. They can’t afford basic needs. Fortunately, God has given me a voice and platform. I have also entertained people for a long time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Police lobbed teargas at the crowds around Omondi before he was taken into custody. He has now been arraigned in court over his protests.<\/p>\n

Eric had promised netizens that he wouldn’t stop at any cost protesting for Kenyans over the current high cost of living. He’s probably going to do a repertoire after he’s released. It’s only a matter of time before we know what Eric will be charged for.<\/p>\n
