Veteran Kenyan comedian and actor Omosh has once again captured public attention after a humorous remark he made about former President Uhuru Kenyatta went viral online.
In a short video circulating on social media, Omosh can be heard saying, “Uhuru imetosha sasa toka Bondo. Hata sisi tunaweza chunga Ida, hatuwezi shindwa,” which loosely translates to, “Uhuru, that’s enough now, leave Bondo. Even we can take care of Mama Ida, we can’t fail.”
The comment, though clearly made in jest, quickly caught the attention of Kenyans online — sparking laughter, memes, and a wave of reactions from both fans and political enthusiasts.
Many interpreted Omosh’s statement as a light-hearted joke about the former Head of State’s frequent association with the Luo Nyanza region and his close friendship with ODM leader Raila Odinga and his family.
Some Kenyans found the humor refreshing, saying Omosh was simply doing what comedians do best — using satire to reflect ongoing political and social conversations. Others, however, felt the remark had a political undertone, suggesting it might be a subtle dig at Uhuru’s continued involvement in Nyanza politics.
Despite the mixed reactions, Omosh appeared unbothered. In a follow-up comment, he reportedly clarified that his statement was purely meant as comedy and not an attack on anyone. “People should learn to laugh — I was only joking. Sometimes we just need to smile as Kenyans,” he said.
The actor, who rose to fame through the popular TV series Tahidi High, has in recent months reinvented himself through social media comedy and live shows. His relatable jokes, often centered around Kenyan politics and everyday life struggles, have earned him both criticism and admiration.
Online users flooded the comments section with laughter emojis, with some saying Omosh’s humor reminded them of the golden days of Kenyan comedy. Others urged him to keep entertaining Kenyans while steering clear of sensitive political issues.
As the clip continues to trend, it highlights how comedy remains one of the most powerful tools for social commentary in Kenya — blending humor with truth and sparking public conversation across social media platforms.
