Comedian Eric Omondi has offered to help a boy who has been neglected at a hospital after being bitten by a snake.
Taking to his Instagram platform, Omondi shared a video of the boy looking frail in a wheelchair in hospital.
The boy was reportedly left without any attention for two hours and was seemingly unconscious. Those around him are also heard saying that the affected leg has also began swelling.
Eric Omondi calls out leaders
Omondi called out leaders stating that innocent Kenyans are dying by the day. He called for members of the public to share with him the phone number details of the boy or a next of kin’s number.
“We are losing innocent Kenyans on a daily basis because Kenya only has politicians and not leaders. I hope this boy is alive. If he is, please send me his mother’s number or his number,” stated Omondi.

Omondi further urged the leaders to finish their term and go home as it does not make sense for one to die while in hospital.
“Two hours mtu ameumwa na Nyoka anakufa na ako hospitali akingoja Treatment. Malizeni muendee. (Two hours. Someone has been bitten by a snake and is dying awaiting treatment in hospital. Just finish and go),” added Eric.
