“I counseled him as a father” Ezekiel Mutua reveals what he discussed with Eric Omondi before he left for US

Ezekiel Mutua is now mentoring Eric Omondi following his distasteful video. The moral police reveals that he had a lengthy conversation with Eric before he left for US.

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO implored parents to sue Eric Omondi the moment his video surfaced online. Eric was seen bathing completely naked with Turkana kids in a river.

Mutua says he had a lengthy telephone conversation with Eric over his video. He claims that the comedian accepted the penalties meted by the KFCB for the inappropriate video.

“Just before I left Nairobi on Thursday evening I had a lengthy telephone conversation with Eric Omondi over his error of judgement in the nude video with kids. He offered what I believe to be a sincere apology and committed to accept the penalties meted by the KFCB for the inappropriate video, even though he denies that he is the one who posted it online. Eric returned to Nairobi from Turkana on Thursday to have a meeting with me following the outrage caused by the video, but I was travelling out of the country and the meeting could not materialise. We agreed to meet when I return,” wrote Ezekiel Mutua in part.

Guidance

Mutua also reveals that he counseled Eric Omondi as a father. The moral cops says that he is committed to mentoring Eric to create clean content.

“Now Eric is a gifted comedian and has been an inspiration to many upcoming stand-up comedians and creatives in general, but that video was a costly mistake. I counselled him as a father would his son and advised him to detest from such misguided notion that obscenity is the way to seek fame. We agreed to meet when I return to Kenya and resolve the matter without having to charge him in court. In fact he offered to work with us to create awareness about content regulations and sensitise his fellow artistes on the law. To err is human. Eric should know that God raised him from the gutter to international fame. He should use his talent to promote good in society. We are willing to help him get back on track. While I detest what Eric did, I forgive him at a personal level and commit to guide the mediation process and mentor him to create clean content. Content doesn’t have to be dirty to sell and Eric and other talented artistes should be role models and champions of moral values.”
