Comedian Eric Omondi has vowed to continue pushing the government to deal with the high cost of living but hopes the agitation will not get messy.
Speaking in an online interview aired on Monday, Omondi said all he wants is for the government to listen to the people's cries on whose behalf he speaks.
"Eric Omondi is going to be the voice of that Kenyan who has no voice. Eric Omondi is going to shout on mountain tops. Eric Omondi is going to speak that which millions cannot speak," he said.
The comedian has over the past few weeks been arrested twice and charged once with creating public disturbance through the unlawful assembly.
He was first arrested on February 21, alongside 17 others while leading a protest against the cost of living.
On March 1, he was arrested again while distributing unga to Kenyans at City Stadium.
The case relating to the first arrest was on Monday pushed to May.
Meanwhile, the court declined to issue orders protecting him and his co-accused from law enforcers.
Omondi said he will not be silenced even if the arbitrary arrests continue.
"The more they try to stop me the more it's going to get louder but I pray to God it doesn't get messy," he said.
Omondi said all the government needs to do is listen to what he is trying to agitate for and find ways of resolving it without victimising him.
"Why are you not listening? If a child comes to you telling you there is a problem, I have not eaten and I have been sent home for school, why beat him? he asked.
"So the only thing I'm requesting the government is to listen. Listen to what the people are saying because if you don't listen to what the people are saying that's when your downfall begins."
Omondi said he is not trying to cause problems and as such, the government should stop playing politics with the issues he is raising.
"It's wisdom to listen. It's smart."
