Renowned comedian Eric Omondi has announced plans to embark on a world tour in his mission to feed Kenyans.
The tour dubbed 'Woiye Tour' is a global fundraising campaign aimed at providing financial assistance to fellow Kenyans to cushion them against harsh economic times.
Omondi's decision comes shortly after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced an increase in fuel prices following the implementation of a 16% tax on fuel which has since been temporarily halted by the court.
During his recent tour in Tanzania, Omondi successfully collected Ksh140,000 in Dodoma, and he intends to continue his efforts in cities around the world.
His goal is to gather funds that will contribute to alleviating the financial burdens faced by many Kenyans.
"Kenya nimeskia Petroli imepanda. Mimi Jana pale Dodoma niliendelea kuchanga Hela ya Kuwasaidia Wakenya Wenzangu. Collected around Ksh140,000. I am Officially Starting the "WOIYEEE TOUR!" I will be going around the World Begging for Money from Every City," he wrote.
Eric Omondi begs in the UK
Prior to his announcement, Omondi had already embarked on a successful fundraising campaign during his visit to London where he managed to raise an impressive Ksh340,000 begging in the streets.
He said he plans to utilize the funds to purchase maize flour (unga) for those in need and provide laptops to aspiring content creators in Kenya.
"Wakiomba tunaomba (When they borrow, we borrow)...While in the UK I took sometime to Raise some money in the Streets of London to come and support fellow Kenyans juu sasa nikubaya.
