Following the allegations made by Oga Obinna, Eric Omondi wasted no time in responding with a swift and forceful retort. In a video that surfaced online, the comedian showcased stacks of cash amounting to millions, which were stored in large boxes. He proudly displayed the currency, scattering it carelessly around his house, including on the bed and even in a dustbin.
"Obinna, I told you I am older than you; I am richer than you. I have more money than you. I can help you. Naweza fungua radio station na nikuandike kama kitabu," Eric said.

Additionally, the comedian boldly stated that one of the boxes (among the five present) held a staggering amount of Ksh13 million in cash.
"Sanduku ya kwanza, do you know how much this is? That is Ksh13 million," he said.
Eric slammed Obinna, saying that he made his first Ksh3 million back in 2008 when the former Kiss FM presenter was still in school.
"I have worked my **s off for 16 years. I made my first 3 million in 2008 [kama} bado uko primary ukakojoa unakunia kwa diapers. I can feed you with your entire family, conman, idiot, maize, Nigerian fake. DON'T EVER ADDRESS ME, Eric said.
"This is money, 16 years worth of working. I am not a conman idiot," he added.
Additionally, Eric stressed that he was not funded by politicians.
"I give people unga out of my hard-earned cash. My sweat, I have worked for 16 years. Nikipeana unga ni pesa yangu, there is no one behind me. There is no politician, mimi si wa Azimio mimi si wa UDA mimi ni Eric Otieno Omondi," he said.
Shortly before Eric Omondi's extravagant demonstration of wealth, former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko also made headlines by flaunting a substantial sum of money, consisting of both American and Kenyan currencies, amounting to at least Ksh34 million. This ostentatious display occurred following a heated dispute with a close associate of Sonko's, prompting him to go on a verbal tirade that was captured in a video subsequently shared online.
“Ati sina pesa kwa sababu ati sisaidii watoto. Nani amekuambia above 18 ni mtoto? Mtu amezaa? Amesomeshwa akamaliza? Nko na pesa lakini sio pesa ya kuaribu na watoto. Pesa ya kuaribu mabibi zangu. Wacha nkuonyeshe mshenzi wewe takataka ghasia nongwe shenzi type, kumbavu wewe,” Sonko ranted.
"Hii ni pocket money hii ni milioni mbili ya mafuta pale kuna milioni thelathini, shenzi wewe, kunguru," he added.
