Comedian Eric Omondi has pulled yet another generous stunt to rescue a mother whose roof was removed for failing to clear rent arrears amounting to Ksh6000.
Through a fundraising drive organised on Wednesday, January 24, Eric mobilised other well-wishers who raised Ksh625,000.
According to the comedian, the money will be used to rent a new house for the mother and her children, and further enrolled the children on a new school.
“We moved her to a new house and paid one year’s rent. We took the children to a new school, and we have opened an account for her and deposited 300K which she can only access once she has a business plan,” Eric Omondi noted.
This was after a landlord in the Nairobi Mathare area was accused of removing a tenant’s roof after she failed to raise Ksh6,000 to offset rent arrears.
In a video posted by content creator, Priscilla wa Imani, on her online pages, the embattled tenant was recorded serving food to her kids inside a house without a roof.
The area leader was said to have requested the influencer to intervene and rescue the children from sleeping in the cold.
Priscilla highlighted that the mother was living in abject poverty, as the children sometimes slept hungry.
Her situation compelled Kenyans to ask Eric to intervene.
