He has now stated why he spent so much on that event.
“I will do anything to make my family happy. I always donate and give people money. What is wrong when I also decide to treat my family? Kenyans are just bitter. They need to follow what Eric Omondi is doing kwa ground,” he said.
In response to queries about how he managed to spend such a significant amount, he explained that he ensured the venue was exclusively reserved for him and his guests.

He believes his actions are a form of giving back to his family, emphasizing that he will continue to fundraise for the needy in Kenya as much as he can.
Eric has also clarified that he had obtained permission to access the location and creatively used pink food coloring in the water as a symbolic representation of their joyful expectation of welcoming a baby girl.
However, some critics argue that the comedian’s public stance on the challenging economic conditions in the country juxtaposed with his lavish spending sends mixed messages to his fans and the wider public.
The growing disparity between the rich and the poor in Kenya remains a pressing issue, and extravagant displays of wealth by celebrities only seem to exacerbate this divide.
