Popular comedian Eric Omondi has opened up about how he plans to use the millions he is paid to reveal the face of his unborn child.
Last week, the comedian whose career has been surrounded by many controversies announced that he needs to be paid 50 million shillings to reveal the face of his daughter when she is born.
“Kuona sura ya mtoto wangu itakuwa ni pesa nyingi sana, ili niifichue sura ya mtoto wangu nipewe shilingi milioni 50. Atakayenipa hizo pesa hata iwe gazeti utaziona hapo. Uso wa mtoto wangu ni mgumu sana kuona.
Namlipa kiasi hicho kwa sababu ni mtoto wa kipekee, usisahau ni ya Eric Omondi, na kwa kigezo hicho pekee ni milioni 50. Ni mrembo sana, nilimuona jana kwa scan. Tayari wakati anachunguzwa, naweza kumuona akitabasamu tu."
In an exclusive interview with Radio Jambo, Eric made it clear that he does not want to expose his daughter's face for his own personal benefit but is doing it for Kenyans who are suffering in these difficult economic times.
He said that this is just a way to raise money so that he can help people.
"Ninachanga pesa kusaidia watu. Ndio, kuona uso wa mtoto wangu, unatoa 50k namsaidia kijana. Saa hii ni ujanja tu, lazima tusurvive. Ni kubaya."
The comedian also addressed the topic of World Coin which has taken Kenyans by storm. Speaking about the controversial digital currency which has already been suspended by the government, the comedian said that Kenyans are ready to do anything just to get money in the difficult economic situation facing the country.
“Hatujali, tumekata tamaa sana, ukitaka nijiunge na ibada ya shetani, niuze figo zangu, hakuna kazi kwangu ni kazi hatari lakini ni lazima watoto wetu wale. Tukiuza utambulisho wetu, tukiuza roho zetu, tayari serikali imetuvuruga, nataka mtoto apata chakula tu."
Eric also urged President William Ruto to work to improve the economy and also create job opportunities for millions of Kenyan youth who are currently struggling due to a lack of money.
