Although Eric Omondi was recently released from police jail following a ruckus outside of parliament last week, he still plans to pursue his protest goals. His last week's protest landed him at the central police station where he spent a night.
The comedian, who just abruptly transitioned into an activist, appeared in a new video pleading with his followers to join him on an upcoming march to the State House.
Eric, who appeared to be a politician dressed professionally in a suit, pledged to immediately petition President William Ruto on behalf of distressed individuals regarding the high and rising expense of living.

Through his official Instagram account, Eric gave the March plan. "Next Week Tuesday 7th March we will March to State House from Uhuru Park to Present our CVs, Rent Arrears, School Fee Arrears, Basic Goods Shopping Lists, and Electricity Bills, "
"This Wednesday we meet at City Stadium from 11 am to 2 pm as we share a packet of Unga with everyone that intends to join us at Statehouse. We are calling upon well-wishers to donate Unga (DO NOT GIVE MONEY, JUST UNGA) If you want to donate a packet or more please Contact 0718891427 or bring the UNGA to City Stadium on Wednesday," added Eric.
After the previous incident, in which the comedian protested against the high cost of living outside the parliament building, Millicent Omanga, a former candidate for senator, called out Eric Omondi for clout chasing.
Omanga contends that the content producers are frantically going overboard and that it is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
"It is simply clout chasing, some of our content creators are overdoing content creation for the sake of gushing praise," she tweeted.
Eric has performed in front of MPs before; last year, he put on a show outside the buildings to persuade them to support a bill requiring media outlets to air 75% Kenyan material.
The comedian's band played many Kenyan hits as they joined him. They then went inside the structure and handed the bill to the members of parliament. A tabled vote was anticipated. He voiced his belief that lawmakers would approve it and sign it into law by President Ruto.
