in the public knowledge that
former KTN anchor, Esther Arunga,
has been implicated in the
controversial death of her three
year old son, Sin-Clair.
It has also turned out that before
the death of her late son broke
out, she was suffering in silence
and her marriage was in trouble.
But Kenyan social media users
have formed a facebook group
dubbed, Lets Bring Back Esther
Back Home on TV, meant to help
Esther re-gain her former glory.
Top comedian, Eric Omondi, has
joined the long list of celebrities
who want Esther to come back and
return to the screen.
In a recent social media post, the
talented comedian revealed how
the former TV queen shaped his
career after introducing him to
Churchill. Eric describes Esther as
a God-Fearing and kind-hearted
lady, who was willing to help any-
one at any-time.
Here’s the emotional post that he
shared on social media revealing
the role Esther played in his
career.
I once met Esther Arunga while at
Daystar University…I was a second
year…I had tried very much to
reach any Celebrity but non would
pick my calls…she did pick my
call…“Hey esther my name is Eric
Omondi, a student at Daystar
University…” I said immediately
she picked…“Yes Dear…talk to me”
She responded in a soft voice…"
Thanks so much for picking my call,
am a student leader and I’d love
to invite you to my college, I’d also
personally love to meet you since
am very much interested in TV and
Entertainment" This was my
response, my voice now shaking
with excitement. " Ok dear, can you
make it to KTN, I and M building
Thursday morning 11am to be
exact and don’t be late!! She said
sternly. Now I was literally shaking
in disbelief…“Yes esther…I’ll be
there”. ‘See you then’ She said and
hang up. To cut the long story
short I met Esther shortly on
Thursday morning and since she
was running late, she offered to
buy me coffee the following
morning at Java Yaya as I explained
to her exactly how she could help.
She did buy me coffee and
introduced me to her
entertainment outfit CINEMA
(Christians in Media and
Entertainment) they ran it together
with Big Ted and Big Kev. She also
came to Daystar to speak to the
students, she brought along with
her Nimrod Taabu the first time
and Jeff Koinange the second
time…This was huge, she made me
believe in myself.I know you are
asking yourselves, what’s the moral
of this story. It was while I was
performing at CINEMA at the
former Galileo on museum hill that
churchill officially saw my talent
and Esther Arunga officially
introduced me to the man who
would take me and give me the
biggest stage of my life, Churchill.
God used her(Esther Arunga) to
lead me to my destiny. I can
confidently say I knew Esther
Arunga, she was a friend and a
mentor…A woman who loved God
and cherished people around
her…an encourager of talent and
gifts a role model to the young
(she won teeniz role model award
that same year)…soft spoken,
harmless, Joyful and cheerful. One
thing happened followed by
another and we soon lost hope and
trust in Esther…but hope is never
lost, we must hope against hope.
Let’s bring back our Esther, back to
Kenya, back to her country, back to
her family…even back to our
Screens. I believe!!! We can!!! YES
WE CAN!!!, bring back our girl.
Touching,…Bring back esther…
i know.
