If you are a young person and you follow this account.. This is for you!!! This is my blood brother Joseph Omondi(Same father same mother)... He is the First born, I am the second born... Our third born is Irene Omondi and the last born is Fred Omondi. Joseph has struggled with drug addiction since high school... He has been in and out of rehabilitation. We have tried our best as a family. Because of his addiction he has a tendency to run away from us to avoid Rehabilitation. I tracked him yesterday through a taxi guy who spotted him in Nairobi downtown along Nyandarua Road. @chipukeezy and Nacada have promised to help him.
