Comedian Eric Omondi has claimed Mumias East member of parliament Peter Salaya is a traitor who has betrayed Kenyans by supporting the proposed Finance Bill 2024.

In a video circulating on social media, Omondi explained that Salasya is in bed with the government, citing recent incidents when the Mumias East MP was spotted with President William Ruto.

In addition, he mentioned an incident where Salasya was seen in a helicopter chopper with deputy president Rigathi Gachagua as they were headed to a public event.

“Salasya has been bought, he is enjoying the luxuries of life that the government provides,” said Omondi.

“If we are to write a list of MPs who are traitors, Peter Salasya is number one, he is the chairman of the traitors,” he added. 

Meanwhile, the comedian urged the Mumias East MP to join citizens by fighting for their rights instead of associating himself with the government.

The comedian was responding after Salasya ridiculed him for organizing demonstrations of mama mboga outside parliament buildings in Nairobi on June 4, 2024.

During the demonstrations, a group of about 200 women were protesting under the banner “Mama Mboga Revolution,” led by comedian Eric Omondi.

The demonstrators were waving placards with messages such as “Mama Mboga Revolution,” “Wabunge Wasaliti,” and “No to Finance Bill.”

However, police arrested the comedian who, despite the arrest, adamantly shouted ‘No to Finance Bill 2024’ as he attempted to rally the protestors.

In another video on social media, Salasya is heard saying that MPs are not traitors because some of them have not even read the Finance Bill 2024. 

“Sasa mimi nimemuuliza Wabunge ni wasaliti aje na hata mimi mwenyewe sijasoma hiyo Finance Bill,” said Salasya.
