Video of Eric Omondi Carrying Money in Gunny Bags Causes Uproar

A video of popular comedian Eric Omondi carrying money in gunny bags has sparked social media uproar.

Eric, who is known for staging extreme publicity stunts, is seen scooping the money on the floor of what appears to be a godown.

Donning full combat attire, Eric is seen being assisted by four ladies to scoop the money heaped on the floor into a bag.

The video which also shows two of the ladies using some of the notes as a handheld fan to cool down has, however, irked a section of netizens.

Although the video is clearly a photo-op moment given that the money is in Ksh100 denomination - an attempt to have the cash appear bulky - Kenyans took issue with Eric's apparent show-off.

Omondi's creativity push has at times landed him in trouble a notable case being a nude video that went south.

The comedian was seen swimming stark naked with a group of minors with Eric arguing that this was a depiction of Wakanda Forever, a term famously attributed to debut movie Black Panther that starred an all African cast including Oscar Winner Lupita Nyongo.

Another comedian Njugush was on Saturday forced to delete a viral video after netizens raised concerns that his play-act was promoting rape.

Njugush was seen in the video dragging a girl home, an act which was viewed by a section of Kenyans as promotion of rape culture.
