Eric Omondi has once again come to the aid of Henry Omondi, famously known as the ‘ameuza airport’ protester or simply ‘kijana ya airport’.
In an update on Monday, December 16, 2024, Eric revealed that Henry had received a new set of teeth, eliminating his dental gaps and broken teeth.
The comedian shared a video documenting Henry’s transformation, showing him entering a dental clinic and leaving with a brand-new smile.
In November, Eric Omondi helped Herny fly for the first time in his life.
The comedian shared the moment the young man boarded a plane from Kisumu to JKIA – his very first flight!
In a generous gesture, Omondi not only covered the cost of the ticket but also paved the way for a future career by enrolling the young man in a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution.
Henry became an internet sensation during the Occupy JKIA protests in July 2024.
This followed rumours that President William Ruto had leased Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to an Indian investor, sparking widespread outrage among Kenyans.
In response, Gen Z activists organized a march to JKIA to express their outrage.
“Anauza hadi airport ya Kenya. Ruto anauuza Kenya na hatujui?” Henry demanded, questioning the president’s actions.
“Ameuza airport?” an interviewer asked Henry as he marched toward JKIA with fellow demonstrators.
“Ameuza airport!” Henry yelled.
“Ameuzia nani?” the interviewer probed.
“Ameuzia Muhindi,” Henry replied.
“Muhindi mgani?” the interviewer pressed further.
“Sijui huyo Muhindi,” Henry responded, unfazed.
Henry continued to vent, wondering how Ruto could sell the airport when his predecessors had not dared to do so.
“Moi hajauza airport, Kenyatta hajauza airport, Ouru [Uhuru] hajauza airport. Kwani yeye ni nani anakuja kutuuzia airport?” he exclaimed.
It was later revealed that the Kenyan government had sought to lease JKIA to the Adani Group for 30 years.
