Comedian Eric Omondi and fifteen others have been sentenced to serve one-month imprisonment or an alternative of a Ksh 10,000 fine over taking part in unlawful assembly.

Milimani chief magistrate Lukas Onyina in his ruling on Friday, September 15 convicted Omondi and the co-accused after they pleaded guilty to the charges.

Onyina gave the accused persons a period of fourteen days to appeal the ruling.

“I have considered the mitigation made and the nature of the offense which is a misdemeanor and the fact that the prosecution has said that they are first-time offenders,” Onyina ruled.

He added, “I have also considered that they have saved the courtโ€™s judicial time. Each of the suspects is hereby fined Sh10,000 in default to serve one month in jail.”

Omondi, in a statement after the verdict, accepted the sentence and said he was ready to serve the one-month jail term.

โ€œSo today the courts have sentenced me and these other young guys to one month in prison. We have been sentenced for fighting the cost of living, โ€œOmondi stated.

โ€œI am ready to serve that one month. I know tomorrow will be victorious.โ€

Omondi and the co-accused had initially denied the charges and were released on Sh10,000 cash bail.

The comedian-turned-activist has been at the forefront of cost-of-living protests in recent months and has been arrested several times.
