He said he was jobless and lacked support from his friends and family. Omosh plead again for help in June, something that rose a lot of controversy from Kenyans.
This was because he received support from Kenyans pledging money, built him a home, and sent him lots of money. Omosh later went on to apologize for asking for help again after a video of him drunk flooded the internet. They asked him to consider rehabilitation, a measure he aims to take up.
