This is what he had to say
"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.
