Eric Omondi Gives William Ruto 2/10 Performance Score Card: "It's Getting Worse"

• Eric Omondi claimed that Kenyans need food and not affordable housing that the government is prioritising
• He gave William Ruto a two out of ten score for the two years he has been in leadership and said that things will only get worse
• Some netizens agreed with him, while others urged him to give the president time so he could deliver his promises

Veteran comedian Eric Omondi has criticised the current administration led by President William Ruto for failing to tackle Kenyans' needs.

Eric, who appeared on Citizen TV, gave the president a scorecard of two out of 10, saying that his priorities were upside down.

Why Eric Omondi thinks Kenya is going in wrong direction

He also faulted the government for prioritising affordable housing, yet most people were starving.

"The government has not performed. They have not kept any promises that they made, actually all of them. The president said that the moment he puts down the Bible, the cost of living will go down. Taxis are on strike, doctors are on strike, teachers are on strike, students are on strike, airport workers are on strike," he said.

Eric's message to William Ruto

Eric added that the nation was depressed, with many sleeping hungry and getting locked out of their homes by landlords.

He questioned why the president has embarked on his many trips, which saw him declare a three-day mourning period in honour of pupils who died in the Hillside Endarasha Academy fire while away.

"This is just a sign that nothing is working in the country, and that alone shows that the president has not delivered. Two years down the line, it is only getting worse, and I don't believe it will get any better. I keep saying there is no single Kenyan who is homeless. We do not need affordable housing. People need food on the table. Nobody eats digital literacy, there are basic needs that come first. Our priorities are upside down," he added.

"Our president is really trying, though there are some misplaced priorities. Demonstrations won't help anything but rather escalate the situation; let us give him time."

Eric hints at running for Langata MP seat

The comedian hinted at possibly challenging Felix Odiwuor alias Jalang'o for the Lang'ata parliamentary seat.

Eric's kind deeds in helping the needy have earned him significant support, prompting calls for him to consider political leadership.

He said his popularity has led Lang'ata residents to approach him for support, inadvertently positioning him as a de facto MP.
