Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) boss Ezekiel Mutua is ready to help troubled comedian David Oyando popularly known as Mulamwah after he shared a heartbreaking video.
In the clip he shared on the evening of Monday, April 13, the comedian is seen burning his signature stage shirt alongside a message admitting to being affected by trolls.
After catching wind of his troubles, Mutua disclosed that he was ready to lift him up back to work as long as he ditched the dirty comedy for a clean alternative.
The self-proclaimed moral cop further promised to buy him a fresh stage shirt and help him rebuild his old glory.
"I hear that the Twitterati is driving Mulamuwa out of comedy & into depression. Bro pick yourself up and give me a call.
"I will buy you a new shirt, mentor you and make you an ambassador of clean content. The best way of dealing with cyberbullies is to refuse to give up!" Stated Mutua.
To prove that he was not taking advantage of Mulamwah's worrying situation, the KFCB boss further disclosed that he had helped other comedians on the brink of despair and never demanded payback.
"We have helped many comedians publicly but we don't demand that they sing our praises. All we want is for them to do clean content. I have never met Henry Desagu since we supported him, but I love his great work and always celebrate him.
"I helped Desagu with 200K to buy better equipment and I demand nothing from him," continued Mutua.
In his heartbreaking post, Mulamwah disclosed that constant trolls had led him and his family into depression and at some point, led to a miscarriage.
“I wasn't here for fame and bad blood but for fun…To those who always wished the worst for me I hope y'all happy now, the stage is all yours. My prayer is that no one else goes through the same again.
“I once posted Carrol Sonie (his partner) while in a hospital bed, we had just lost our baby at 3 months following stress after being trolled online. I have never been the same since,” he stated.
In the emotive post, the commedian, who has performed numerously on Churchill Show sets as recently as March 2020, also apologised to those who looked up to him for inspiration noting that by giving up, he had failed them.
