Kericho Senator, Aaron Cheruiyot

Kericho Senator, Aaron Cheruiyot has said that he supports the move by Kenya Film Classification Board CEO, Ezekiel Mutua to have comedian Eric Omondi arrested on Thursday.

In a Tweet, the Senator said he is a big fan of art, but what Eric Omondi was doing is not anywhere close to art.

Cheruiyot insisted that there is no art in showing naked girls on camera, and that Eric Omondi needs help.

“I support @EzekielMutua on his action to reign in on Eric Omondi. I am a big fan of art. I consume a lot of it. But what Eric was doing is not art. There is no art in depicting naked girls and groping them for the cameras. Eric needs help,” said Senator Aaron Cheruiyot.
