KENYAN communists have launched a major cultural campaign as they accused the country’s ruling elite of carrying out a genocide of the poor.
Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) deputy chairman and national organising secretary Booker Ngese Omole aims to engage with young people ahead of a general election scheduled for August.
“In an attempt to improve the quality of life I will put in place social facilities. I will start sports clubs, dancing clubs, singing clubs, moving village theatre,” he said.
Anyone who criticises those in power in Kenya risks their freedom or worse. The brutal abduction of Booker Omole marks a new escalation in a country sliding toward authoritarian rule, says MARC VANDEPITTE
