In order to attend the premiere of Gigi Money, a reality TV series centered around musician Gigi and her family, Eric Omondi took a quick flight to Tanzania.
After landing, Omondi said in an interview with Clouds FM Tanzania that he was making a difference in people's lives through the Sisi Kwa Sisi movement.
"I am returning the favor to society because it has helped me for sixteen years. He declared, "I'm giving up comedy to focus on activism."
He declared that the priority in Kenya should now be on saving lives and property during flooding rather than on show business.
"When Eric is quiet, the industry is quiet. So I would like to urge the comedy industry in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania I would like to organize a 3-day conference kama Rais," Omondi said.
"I'm the President, is calling for an urgent meeting of all comedians in East Africa, waje tuongee tuelewane, tusaidiane, tuinuane, lakini Rais atawapatia mwelekeo,".
He declared that comedic shows would not be allowed until further notice.
"Ila kwa sasa Kenya sitaki comedy. Kwa Kenya saihizi nime ban comedy kama Raisi wa comedy," he said.
His reason?
"Kila mahali hatutaki comedy Kenya maanake there is nothing to laugh about. Hatutaki kucheka, hatutaki kuchekeshwa tuna huzuni, tuna misiba, mish ayetu magumu mafuriko ndio hayo , unga, stima ndio hiyo mafuta, karo, kodi ndi hiyo, we don't have anything to smile about,".
Adding;
"We don't want to laugh we don't want to smile, we are in a state of mourning Kenya hatupo sawa"
He will be announcing other moves later.
"We are mourning about our lives, how sad it is to be a Kenyan today. The Government has forgotten its people. And the people are on their own, waKenya wanjisaidia, wana jiinua, bila serikali, sasa hatutaki comedy Kenya."
