How did Eric Omondi help Nyakach orphans?
In a new development, Eric shared a video on social media after visiting them in their village.
He could be seen leading them in shopping in a supermarket.
He revealed that two orphans are now in the custody of their grandmother.
Eric revealed he set up a shop for the guardian for sustainability and left her with some money.
"These 3 young girls were left orphans after they lost their parents in the recent Nyakach, Kisumu Naki Bus accident. Their grandmother is now their mother and father. We managed to do Shopping for them and opened a small shop for them for Sustainability. Alafu tumeachia Grandma Float kidogo pia," Eric said.
The philanthropic comedian revealed he had used part of the money that was raised for a dishonest Kitengela woman who had faked domestic violence to get help from Eric's platform.
"This is just from a small part of the money Sisi Kwa Sisi raised recently in the Kitengela case. We will continue to share the money with Kenyans across the country. God bless you," he revealed.
How did netizens react to Eric's post:

Why did Eric Omondi detect fraudulent case?
The woman, Joyce Nyabuti, defrauded the comedian and the public of more than KSh 1 million.
The saga began when a video showing a woman allegedly being thrown out of her house with her two children went viral on social media.
Kenyans urged Eric Omondi to intervene and assist the woman through his Sisi Kwa Sisi organisation.
Eric Omondi traced the woman and launched a fundraising campaign, quickly raising over KSh 1 million.
However, just hours later, it was revealed that the story had been scripted to swindle Kenyans.
Joyce and her friends devised a way of getting money, and they scripted the story. She revealed she paid the man KSh 200 to act as her husband.
