Comedian Eric Omondi says he will demonstrate for 14 days nonstop.

Speaking on Thursday during an interview on Hot 96, the comedian-turned-activist said:

"I will fight for the Wanjikus. It is not easy because the messages I receive, it's getting crazier every day," he said.

"I was once told that children have not eaten for three days. How is that even possible?"

The comedian was 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.

Last week, he was arrested again while pulling a wooden cart to State House allegedly with thousands of CVs of youths looking for jobs.

And again on Monday, for "causing a disturbance" in the city.
