Comedian Eric Omondi and 7 others have been arraigned before a court in Nairobi following their arrest on Tuesday.
Omondi has been arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts for leading protests among other charges. He is being represented by Lawyer Danstan Omari.
Eric led a protest outside the Parliament building on Tuesday, February 21 protesting the high cost of living.
He spoke to several media houses moments before heading out to the court.
He insisted "They thought it was jokes and clout when I showed up by the team they wake up there will be a very big revolution,".
"Everything I have ever done in my life this is where we are headed this is where it stops, this is where it ends"
Eric is optimistic that there will be change.
Eric arrived at Parliament buildings where he led a group of men with banners protesting the cost of living.
They were soon dispersed after teargas was lodged by police.
The placard-waving bare-chested men chanted bado mapambano (the struggle is on) as they made their way to Parliament buildings demanding an audience with Speaker Moses Wetang'ula.
"Stima juu, maji juu, unga juu, tax juu" were the words written on the placards.
The group sat across Parliament road, obstructing traffic, as they sang songs to rally youth not to sleep on their laurels in the face of a struggle for better living conditions.
"Vijana msilale, bado mapambano," they sang.
