Eric Omondi Declares Parallel Mashujaa Day for Fallen Protesters
Controversial comedian Eric Omondi has announced plans to host a parallel Mashujaa Day event on October 20, aimed at honouring young protesters who lost their lives during recent anti-government demonstrations.
This bold move comes as Omondi continues to voice his support for Generation Z and other young Kenyans who participated in the protests against rising living costs and government policies.
According to a recent report by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), over 20 young Kenyans were killed by anti-riot police during the protests. These individuals, Omondi asserts, are the unsung heroes of Kenya, having made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for better governance.
“It’s official! We will host a parallel Mashujaa Day mega event on October 20 to honour our heroes who lost their lives during the protests,” Omondi declared in a passionate statement. He emphasized the significance of this parallel celebration, seeing it as a way to ensure that the voices of these fallen youth are remembered.
Omondi also made a heartfelt plea for suggestions on where the event should be held. He hopes to finalize the venue by the end of Wednesday, October 20, stating that the families of the fallen heroes will be the guests of honour at the event.
“Please suggest a suitable venue so we can book it today. The parents and families of the heroes will be seated on the main dais as our chief guests,” he added. His gesture reflects a commitment to not only remembering the fallen but also giving their families a moment of recognition.
The comedian’s proposal to honour fallen protesters on Mashujaa Day has sparked conversations across social media platforms, with supporters hailing his courage and critics questioning his decision to hold a separate event from the national celebration.
Though no venue has been officially named, Omondi’s vision for the event remains clear – a tribute to the young lives lost in pursuit of change, a reminder that their struggle should never be forgotten.
