Statement by the Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya Central Organizing Committee
This morning, at approximately 3:00 am, armed assailants equipped with night vision goggles and firearms violently stormed the residence of Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole. A fierce exchange of gunfire ensued, during which Comrade Booker and his comrades managed to neutralise one attacker, while seven others fled the scene. The police arrived an hour later, long after the attackers had escaped.
This was not a random criminal act but a deliberate and calculated political assassination attempt on our General Secretary, who has been unwavering in his critique of the Kenya Kwanza government. The attack has the fingerprints of rogue state militias and counter-revolutionary operatives expelled from our Party, led by their gang leader Benedict Wachira. Wachira and his group have repeatedly issued threats and openly boasted of their connections with the criminal Kenya Kwanza regime.
The Communist Party Marxist unequivocally condemns this cowardly attack and demands a thorough, independent investigation to bring the perpetrators and their sponsors to justice. This is not just an attack on an individual but an assault on the revolutionary movement and the aspirations of the Kenyan people for a just and democratic society.
We affirm our commitment to the safety of our comrades and to defending our leadership against any form of aggression. The Party will not be intimidated by such heinous acts. We stand united and resolute in our struggle for liberation, justice, and socialism.
Let the enemies of progress be warned: their attempts to silence us will fail. The struggle continues!
