Eric Omondi Seeks To Collect 1,000,000 Signatures

Eric Omondi has initiated the process of collecting signatures hoping to take the country  to a referendum.

The comedian turned activist  is looking foward for the reduction counties as well as the scrapping of senator positions,nominated MPs, women representative positions.

“Kenya is overrepresented. Mtu mmoja ako na president, deputy president, governor, deputy governor, MP, senator, woman representative, MCA, ako na regional commissioner, county commissioner, assistant county commissioner, chief, subchief, na village elder. A single Kenyan is represented by 16 people doing the same thing,” Eric said during a press conference held in Nairobi.  He said stating that he will travel country to country collecting signatures.

“We are going round the country collecting signatures. All we need is a million signatures. That should take us less than two weeks.

Omondi made the statements during a press conference he held at Serena Hotel, Nairobi on August 20, 2024.

The comedian compared Kenya with the USA saying that the Western country with a larger population has fewer government officials than Kenya.

“Taxpayers are carrying the burden of paying for offices that are overlapping. Tuko na waziri wa michezo katika serikali ya kitaifa, tuko na waziri wa michezo katika serikali ya kaunti. Tuko na waziri wa mazingira huko juu, tuko na waziri wa mazingira huku chini. Kwani mazingira ni ngapi?” he questioned.
