RE: Call for the Immediate Release of Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kenya
Your Excellency,
The Revolutionary Socialist Movement (RSM), Nigeria, writes to express our grave concern over the arrest and continued detention of Mr. Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kenya.
According to an available report from a verified source. On the evening of 24th of February, 2026, Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole, Secretary General and a consistent fighter of the working class, was violently abducted in Isiolo by officers of the Kenya Police Service. He was beaten severely. Tortured. Brutalised to near death. His tooth was broken. His finger was cut with a pen knife. He was treated not as a citizen with rights but as an enemy to be crushed.
After this savage assault, he was dumped at Mlolongo Police Station, a station widely feared by the masses and long associated with extrajudicial killings and systematic terror against the poor and politically conscious. His phone signal has been traced there. We consider this state violence against dissents.
Booker Omole, was later thrown into a filthy cell. An unknown man was sent to defecate in the corner. Poorly cooked food was dumped beside the waste. Then Booker was forced to clean the human filth. Booker Ngesa Omole was later transferred to Kitengela Remand Prison with a broken arm. The court denied him both cash bail and urgent medical care. To us, this is political persecution and we demand the immediate release of Booker from illegal detention.
We consider his detention a serious violation of democratic rights, including freedom of expression, association, and political participation—rights that are fundamental in any society that claims adherence to constitutional governance and democratic norms.
As a political leader representing working people and youth in Kenya, Mr. Omole has the right to express his political views, mobilize support for his organization, and engage in lawful activism without fear of repression. Criminalizing dissent or targeting opposition figures sets a dangerous precedent that undermines democratic institutions and weakens public confidence in governance.
We therefore call on the Government of Kenya to:
1. Immediately and unconditionally release Mr. Booker Ngesa Omole.
2. Drop any politically motivated charges against him.
3. Guarantee the protection of democratic rights for all political activists and organizations in Kenya.
The Revolutionary Socialist Movement stands in solidarity with workers, youth, and progressive forces across Africa who struggle for justice, equality, and democratic freedoms. We believe that repression cannot silence the legitimate aspirations of the people.
We respectfully urge the Kenyan authorities to act swiftly in the interest of democracy, the rule of law, and continental solidarity.
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of our highest consideration.
Signed,
National Secretariat
