Comedian and activist Eric Omondi has been released on a personal bond of Sh100,000 after denying a charge of obstructing traffic during protests over rising fuel prices last month.
Omondi appeared before Milimani Principal Magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to the charge of obstructing the operation of motor vehicles on a road contrary to Section 58(c) of the Kenya Roads Act.
The prosecution alleges that on May 18, 2026, along Kimathi Street in Nairobi, Omondi unlawfully obstructed the free flow of traffic by offloading 120 empty 10-litre plastic jerricans from an Isuzu lorry.
