Comedian Eric Omondi has been arrested outside Parliament building for demonstrating with mama mbogas against the Finance Bill 2024.
Wearing an outfit resembling a police uniform, he and a group of protesters displayed signs denouncing the proposed Finance Bill 2024 by the government.
The protestors brought many sukuma wiki (collard greens) and scattered them at the parliament’s entrance.
Amidst the chaos, Eric impersonated a police officer and attempted to quell the protestors using force.
Shortly after, real police officers at the gate apprehended Eric and escorted him inside while the others dispersed in disarray.
Eric later uploaded a video of the incident to his Instagram, captioning it with a strong message against the Finance Act 2024.
“We will not allow this government to kill and suffocate Kenyans with the Finance Act 2024!!! Kenyans are suffering and dying in hospitals without medicine while they tax us to buy cars, houses and expensive travel abroad,” he wrote.
