“It is a serious time, we’re no longer laughing, we’re in tough times. People are suffering, they’re starving, and they can’t afford basic needs. Fortunately, God has given me a voice and platform. I have also entertained people for a long time, 16 years in the comedy industry. That is enough time.” Eric Omondi said when doing an interview with Ramogi FM.
