Kenya communists: "President Ruto, your time is up!"

Statement by the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) on the ongoing developments in the country:

This disingenuous capitulation comes only after Ruto ordered the brutal murder of more than 10 confirmed protesters and unleashed death squads to massacre more innocent lives in Githurai.
