Comedian Eric Omondi has vowed to soldier on with his walk from Nairobi to Mombasa after suffering injuries on the first day of his walk that will cover 486 kilometres.
The philanthropist covered 67 kilometres on the first day after walking from Nairobi’s Nyayo National Stadium to Machakos.
The gruelling walk left him with injuries on the leg and hip, but the comedian has vowed to soldier on, even if it means crawling for the rest of the journey.

“LAZIMA TUTAFIKA MOMBASA HATA KAMA NI BY FIRE!!! Today I tore/Injured Ligaments on my left leg and hip, but Kesho tutaendelea hata Kama tuna crawl,” Omondi said.
This loosely translates to: We must reach Mombasa through any means possible. Today I tore/injured ligaments on my left leg and hip, but the walk continues tomorrow even if it means crawling.”
