Comedian Fred Omondi has asked ODM party leader Raila Odinga to pay him sh 300,000 after he Mceed at his rally in Nyayo Stadium back in 2013 when he (Raila) was vying for presidency.
Fred took to Instagram to inform Raila that despite of his efforts to reach him, his people including the bodyguards made sure that he never got to him. Even when he went to visit him at Orange House he was told "Baba anapigania vitu kubwa, yako ni ndogo".
He disclosed that he had clips from the rally and that Dagoretti Mp Jon Kiarie could confirm that he worked that day.
“A MESSAGE TO BABA Hallo Baba. Am a Kenyan Artist. A Comedian, Mc, and Musician. This has nothing to do with Politics. Am just here for some small justice Baba, hope this finds you, because your people made sure I never reached you all these years whenever I demanded for what's rightfully mine. @odingaraila Remember in 2013 when you ran for Presidency, your last rally was at Nyayo Stadium as H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta was at Uhuru Park, I was called upon to be part of ODM's MCs that day alongside Dagoretti MP John Kiarie and Comedian Mdomo Baggy, @kiariejohn @__.mdomo.baggy__ who can confirm the same, and from the clips you can also tell I was there working. The agreement was Ksh.300,000 which I never received a coin to date” read part of his message.
The MC reminded Baba that when he tried to talk o him during Luo festival, his guards made sure that he only gave him a handshake. The comedian who also doubles up as a musician went ahead to state that he had decided to Mcee the event despite fellow artistes cautioning him against the move because of political and tribal rifts.
"This picture above was the last time I saw you while performing @luofestival that was hosted by @jalangoo On this day I tried talking to you about it but your security made sure it was just a handshake, so I decided kutoa aibu na Orengo. I had just made a debut on @churchillshow and I was called upon because of my talent, which pays my bills, to Mc a political event. Most fellow artist adviced me not to do it because of political n tribal rifts, but I did it because my tribe is Kenya and also that's what puts food on my table" added Fred.
He even quoted Raila during BBI rallies saying that the youth will be given an equal and ample opportunity to prosper and asked him how he would prosper iif he hadn’t been paid and still had loans from Tala and Fuliza.
"Its been seven years and the only proof I might have is the review of clips and my fellow MCs, because I was never paid and when I came to orange house I was told "Baba anapigania vitu kubwa, yangu ni ndogo" All am asking as a youth and an artist, nilipwe for my hustle. 7years down the line na hata staki interest, I just need what's mine and as you say at the BBI rallies in the BBI report, "The youth will be given equal and ample opportunity to prosper" Baba how can I prosper na deni za Tala na fuliza😂, I know this was never brought to your attention so I hope this reaches you directly. To, Hon. Raila Odinga. From. Comedian Fred Omondi." Concluded Fred.
