Social media is on fire following the arrest of Comedian Eric Omondi as he was trying to distribute Unga at City Stadium.
As earlier communicated by the comedian, fans were to assemble at the City Stadium to receive packets of flour.

“Niko sawa, lorry zinakuja”
He was set to help Kenyans who are in need as he says he can afford to put food on their table due to the current high cost of living.
“Nasaidia wakenya wenzetu hawana unga bwana na mimi naweza afford kidogo”
Netizens who have not taken the matter lightly have seen the comedian trend through many posts, tweets and retweets asking why Omondi is being arrested for distributing food to hungry Kenyans.
“Since when did charity become unlawful in Kenya?” A netizen inquired
“I was there to collect my 2kgs but unfortunately you cannot outshine the government,” Job Kariuki said
“Am waiting to read the charges preferred against Erick omondi. That the suspect has been arrested for distributing Unga contrary to section blah of our statutes that criminilalises charity work, oh my God! I can’t even comprehend this act by the police,”Patrick Wamalwa noted.
