Comedian Eric Omondi is once again entangled in legal troubles after he was arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts on Monday.<\/p>\n
This latest court appointment comes after the comedian led a protest outside Parliament on June 4th, which involved scattering cabbages to symbolize the struggles of ordinary Kenyans facing economic hardships due to the proposed Finance Bill 2024.<\/p>\n
The protest dubbed the \u201cMama Mboga Revolution,\u201d rallied over 200 women who joined him in highlighting the burden that new taxes would place on low-income earners.<\/p>\n
Omondi was arrested during this demonstration for creating a disturbance, which temporarily disrupted traffic near the Parliament buildings but was later released on cash bail.<\/p>\n
On Monday morning, the comedian was once again arrested on his way to Tanzania and arraigned in court before being released on a cash bail of Kshs. 5,000.<\/p>\n
This was not the first time Omondi resorted to eye-catching tactics to advocate for the rights of ordinary Kenyans.<\/p>\n
Recently, the comedian was arrested on Mashujaa Day after he organised a rally to honour protesters who lost their lives during the Anti-Finance Bill protests in June.<\/p>\n
Omondi, who was disguised in women\u2019s clothing, was arrested shortly after he arrived at Uhuru Park where the event was scheduled to take place.<\/p>\n
He was later released after mass appeals from Kenyans on social media.<\/p>\n
Omondi\u2019s activism, often theatrical, is part of a broader campaign where he has promised to hold leaders accountable on behalf of struggling Kenyans.<\/p>\n
