Earlier this week, Kenya Film Classification Board, through its CEO Ezekiel Mutua slapped Eric with nine demands before they withdrew the case that led to his arrest and opted for an out of court settlement as per his request.

Mutua held a meeting with Omondi and a mediation team led by Mwalimu Churchill and Jalang’o, where the nine demands were set.
