“Get Ready to RESIST” Eric Omondi sends message to GenZ.

Prominent comedian turned philanthropic human rights activist Eric Omondi, who is still mourning the loss of his younger brother Fred Omondi, has joined other Kenyan citizens in expressing their dissatisfaction with the proposed 2024 Finance Bill.

Using his social media platforms, Eric criticised the 204 Members of Parliament who voted to advance the bill to the second stage of debate, despite a 3-day public outcry from Kenyan citizens. Many people took to the streets to protest the new tax clauses outlined in the bill.

Eric posted a picture of himself wearing all red and raising his right fist in the air.

He shared a brief yet powerful message, encouraging people not to lose hope and reminding them that they hold the power.

“Get Ready to RESIST!!! 204 GREEDY, SELFISH and gluttonous P#gs cannot go against the voices of 54 MILLION People!!!” Part of his heated post read.

He warned the politicians that if they didn’t listen to the people who had given them power, the people would have to take back their privileges.

“When the Representative of the People are UNABLE to REPRESENT the PEOPLE,THE PEOPLE SHALL REPRESENT THEMSELVES!!!! It will NOT BE a WALK in the Park. IF WE LOSE they Must Lose, #reject finance bill2024,” the last of his post read.

His post was met with huge excitement and approval from netizens with it receiving over 78 thousand likes and close to 6 thousand comments less than 24 hours since his posting.

Interestingly, the father of 2 was arrested this evening outside the Parliament building where he’d led a few youths in protest.
