  • The video of Omosh drunk and falling down emerged on Monday and has left Kenyans shocked.

A video of former Tahidi High actor Joseph Kinuthia alias Omosh drunk has shocked Kenyans.

The video shared on Twitter by a User identified as Victor Otengo showed the actor staggering while another man helped him into a flat. 

Kenyans on Twitter expressed their dismay and some opined that Omosh needs help to fight the drinking habit.

Omosh had dirt on his clothes, a sign that he had fallen before being helped by the still-unidentified man.

Two days ago Omosh responded to those criticizing him for seeking help, a few months after Kenyans came to his rescue, stating that money cannot last forever.

Speaking during an interview with a local radio station, Omosh acknowledged receiving money from Kenyans a few months ago but noted that he had many debts and expenses that the money catered for.

He further noted that some of the people who pledged to support him did not fulfil their pledges.

Regarding the specific amount that he received, Omosh did not give a straight answer, claiming that he did not record every cash that was sent to him since some of the money came and immediately addressed pressing needs that were existing back then.

As to how much money he has remained with, Omosh said it is less than one hundred thousand.

“Kulikuwa na mashimo ilikua inaziba na ikizibwa na wale wengine walisema watachomoa sio wote walichomoa wengine ilikua tu PR…I had so much debt …Mimi ata ukinipatia doo, doo huisha lakini ukinipatia job, naweza jisustain.

“I can’t account for how much I received…Pesa nimebaki nayo si mingi… Haijafika laki moja…Mahitaji ni mingi, boma ni mbili, wake ni wawili, watoto wengine wako shule,” he said.
