DADDY OWEN DEFENDS ERIC OMONDI’S NAIROBI-MOMBASA WALK

Award-winning gospel musician Daddy Owen has come to the defence of comedian and activist Eric Omondi, clarifying the mechanics behind his widely publicised Nairobi-Mombasa walk and addressing skeptics who questioned how he completed the journey in just four days.

In a detailed explanation, the gospel musician revealed that the walk functioned as a innovative fundraising initiative where financial contributions translated into virtual kilometers, eliminating the need for physical walk of the entire distance. “I’ve seen people asking how Eric Omondi made it to Mombasa in 4 days,” Daddy Owen noted.

The musician proceeded to break down the unique fundraising model that powered the initiative, “The walk was a fundraiser. Ukituma 10k taslimu, it covered for 1km, meaning he didn’t have to physically walk that 486kms. With strong support from well-wishers, many kilometres were covered through donations.”

Omondi embarked on the four-day walk to raise funds for Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre which will include: A Warehouse, two fully equipped ambulances, a clinic and a free secondary school.
