Speaking in an interview with TV47, Omosh revealed that he paid off his debts with a big chunk of the money, leaving him with empty pockets.
He expressed his gratitude to those who contributed to his cause, saying, “Manze kama ulisema unanitumia kakitu kwani kaliendaje? Bado nategea tu… Kusema tu uwkeli nilipata less than Sh1 million shillings. Nikalipa madeni, chuo ya watoi, juu nilikuwa nimekaa one year, four months bila kulipa.”
Omosh also revealed that he is in need of a camera, tripod, lights, and a microphone to produce his planned comedy skits.
He added that he is open to collaborations and can be reached on 0727054141.
When asked why he did not buy the filming equipment when Kenyans contributed for him, Omosh replied, “Si kujitetetea… lakini sai ata nikipata ka job hata kama ni kufagia nipate ya maziwa niko ready so unaweza nipata on 0727054141.”
Omosh expressed his desire to return to acting and comedy to make ends meet, saying, “It was the best time for me to get a house, kulipa madeni zangu and it was the best time for me to sit back and say kumbe watu wananijua. Yaani guys are with me bado.”
