Comedian Eric Omondi found himself in hot water as he was arrested outside Parliament Buildings. His arrest came after he led a demonstration alongside Mama Mbogas protesting the proposed Finance Bill(2024) along Parliament Road. The group’s efforts were swiftly halted as officers intervened and dispersed the protesters, leading to Omondi’s detention.
The comedian’s involvement in socio-political activism has become increasingly prominent, positioning him as a leading figure in advocating for the rights and concerns of ordinary Kenyans. However, his latest demonstration landed him in trouble with the authorities, culminating in his booking at Parliament police station. Omondi’s arrest highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding public dissent and the government’s response to peaceful protests.
