Kenyan communists launch cultural campaign accusing ruling elite of ‘killing the poor’

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.
