Eric has been at the forefront of rallying Kenyans to assist those in need, and he recently helped raise millions for Albert Ojwang’s family.
On Friday, June 13, he shared a symbolic photo wearing a striped shirt similar to that worn by convicts.
Eric raised one hand in the air in defiance, with an open handcuff on his wrist. The open cuffs likely symbolized being freed from the yoke of bad leadership.
In the caption, Eric declared that Kenya will change for the better.
“Hear me. There will be a new Kenya. Not because of anything or anyone, but because it's time.”
Eric likened the happenings in Kenya to a woman in labor.
“The pain that we are experiencing is a clear sign of a new birth, a new beginning, a new Kenya.”
The activist listed some of the vices being propagated by the political class, noting that their time will be over soon.
“Their time is over. The generation of corruption, tribalism, greed, anarchy, nepotism, and brutality will be no more in a few. God is with us. Finish and go.”
Eric’s revolutionary message struck a chord with many Kenyans, with some encouraging him to run for a political seat.

“The way Tanzania wishes to be the current Kenya, yet Kenyans are not satisfied with the way their country is being run. They are still struggling without fear. No reforms, no election in Tanzania 2025.”

In other news, Kenya School of Law President Joshua Okayo was injured during protests calling for justice for Ojwang.
On Monday, June 9, Okayo accused a police officer at the Central Police Station of threatening him. The activist had confronted the officer for firing teargas at his feet, and the cop allegedly said he had marked him.
Speaking then, Okayo said he was barred from reporting the incident at the police station, and the officers encouraged him to do so privately. However, he would have none of it, saying he did not want to handle matters behind closed doors.
Come Thursday, June 12, Okayo was allegedly beaten by the same police officer and rushed to the hospital.
He sustained head injuries.
