Eric Omondi

The renowned comedian has, over the past few years, reinvented himself as one of the country's foremost activists and philanthropists. 

Omondi has leveraged his influence and social media platforms to amplify the struggles of ordinary Kenyans, particularly the youth and the jobless. 

In 2024, as the anti-government protests intensified in the country, Omondi was among the leading voices protesting the high cost of living and confronting government officials about taxation and unemployment. 

Using his social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, Omondi has harnessed his influence to champion philanthropic causes, rallying Kenyans to offer financial support to struggling families.  

In July 2025, Omondi won the Politically Upright Public Figure award at the Governance Awards and also won at the Bobea Leadership Awards for his 'Sisi kwa Sisi' project.   

 Other awards he has bagged in the past year include the Humanitarian of the Year at the National Council of Community-Based Organisations (NCBOC) Awards in November 2024.
