Eric Omondi Rescues Women Jailed Over Petty Offenses
After jailing out three ladies from Lang’ata Women’s Prison, Kenya’s finest comedian has again won the hearts of netizens by promising to jail out 33 ladies arrested for petty offenses.
Speaking hours after paying fines for three ladies; Joyce, Nicole and Naomi, Eric Omondi said he was hurt while at the prison after discovering many young women had been jailed over petty offenses.
He also claimed because of poverty, some have failed to pay the small fines and as the case, promised to jail out 33 women from Lang’ata Women’s Prison.
“Today as we were releasing our sister Joyce from Lang’ata Women’s Prison, I realized there are so many petty offenders languishing in jail.
“I am not talking about criminal cases, am talking about hawkers, makangas, wamama wakufua and so forth. Some of their fines are as little as Ksh 500.
” We are going to do our best to get these people out and help them where we can” Eric Omondi said.
The president of comedy who has been hurt by the sufferings of Kenyans due to high economy also promised to visit Nairobi West Prison, Industrial Area and Mombasa prisons after Lang’ata.
Further, he claimed some women are also innocent in jail suffering for offenses they never commited.
“Hakuna mtu atalala jela because of Ksh 500. Hata kama uko ndani na ulishikwa juu wewe ni hawker” Eric Omondi added.
Unlike comedy, the President of Comedy has of late won the hearts of many for his human rights activism and unequivocal energy to point out the misdeeds done by the government without fear of contradiction.
