Occupy Winners Church
Kenya has a long history of the church as an ally in the struggle for freedom. However, overtime, these spiritual sanctuaries have been captured by rogue politicians. It is for this purpose that Kongamano La Mapinduzi joined other revolutionaries and community organizers in occupying Jesus Winner Ministry Church in Roysambu. These led to Bishops meeting and saying they will no longer give the floor of the church to be desecrated by thieving and criminal politicians. The comrades as always, were met with violence, even in the house of God. Kongamano La Mapinduzi believes occupying churches remains a viable tactic in political education and to maintain the momentum of resistance against dictator Ruto.
Nyayo Stadium Flash Mob
Nyayo Stadium was host to a very beautiful pollical scene. The whole stadium of more than 33 000 Kenyans erupted in #RutoMustGO chants that could be heard all the way in Nairobi CBD. The two evil twins of Ruto and Raila were present to witness the hate. This shook them so much that they sent KDF Chief of Staff and NIS director to threaten and intimidate Kenyans that they had gone too far with the #RutoMustGo campaign. They even went as far as deceiving Kenyans that #RutoMustGo is the same as saying #KenyaMustGo. How one man became Kenya, and more important than 54 million Kenyans, is a threat to national security. Kongamano La Mapinduzi is encouraging all Kenyans to repeat the scenes witnessed at Nyayo stadium in the presence of raila and ruto in all arts, sports and entertainment events.
Venezuelan Solidarity
Kongamano La Mapinduzi (KLM) believes in the spirit of international solidarity. It is for this reason that Kongamano La Mapinduzi honored the invitation of the Venezuelan Ambassador in Kenya, to give a statement in regard to the 200 legal migrants abducted and renditioned in a concentration camp in El Salvador. We believe that Kenya’s problems are tied to international contradictions. Neocolonialism and imperialism are international scourges. Therefore, our struggle must be international too. It is important for people’s movements like KLM to seek and to form alliances with international people’s movements. This provides for coordinated international offensives and prevents too much fragmentation and people struggling in isolation.
Al Quds Day
Kongamano La Mapinduzi joined our international Muslim community in marking Al Quds day. The event was held at Sir Ali Club Park Road on 28th March 2025. KLM prepared and read a statement at the event in solidarity with the people of Palestine. This is a special day introduced by the mighty Iranian Revolution and held on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan and dedicated to the liberation of Palestine. This year Al Quds day was taking place even as the US and Israel commit a genocide that has already claimed over 50 thousand Palestinians, mostly women and children. KLM stands and offers unconditional support to the Palestinian people and all oppressed people of the world.
K0ngamano Album
Kongamano La Mapinduzi is in the process of developing an album with old and new freedom and liberation songs. At the moment KLM has only been able to record audio songs. The idea is to record 8 audios and then figure out how to go about producing the videos and how to launch the album. KLM is calling on all revolutionary artists to push and actively promote liberation songs and our album.
Poetry Reading & Open-Mic
Kongamano La Mapinduzi National Spokesperson, Comrade Sungu Oyoo, has a published poetry book titled, Abolish Everything: A Poetic Manifesto From Last Evening. The book is available at CheChe Books, Kauria Close Lavington. On Saturday 29th March 2025, Comrade Sungu held a poetry reading and open mic at CheChe Books.
- Current Issue Analysis: Dutch Visit
No Messiah Is Coming: Kenya’s Liberation Lies in the Hands of Wanjiku
Despite national outrage, the Dutch King and Queen recently wined and dined with Kenya’s dictator, an administration widely condemned for overseeing a regime of violence, corruption, and oppression. Their presence wasn’t just tone-deaf; it was a glaring symbol of how Western powers continue to legitimize and reinforce neo-colonial strongmen under the guise of diplomacy and development.
What unfolded during that visit pulled back the curtain on a disturbing truth: Kenya’s civil society, once a beacon of resistance and accountability, has been thoroughly captured by the very forces it was meant to challenge. Funded and influenced by the same Western diplomatic community that props up oppressive regimes, many NGOs have traded radical advocacy for sanitized activism and boardroom diplomacy.
It is now clear that no politician, foreign or domestic, born again or a drunk – will deliver us from this system. The dream of salvation through the ballot box in 2027 or diplomatic charm is a myth. The neoliberal elite, both in Nairobi and in Western capitals, are deeply invested in maintaining the current order. They rely on each other to sustain power, control resources, and pacify the masses.
But amid the betrayal and silence of co-opted institutions, a different force is rising. Radical people’s movements like Kongamano La Mapinduzi (KLM) are emerging as the only credible voice of the people.
Rooted in grassroots communities, independent of foreign interests, and unapologetically militant in their demands, these organic movements represent the last true hope for Kenya’s liberation.
KLM and similar formations understand that the problem is systemic. Kenya suffers from comprador leadership—a class of politicians who act as local managers for global imperial interests. They do not serve the people; they serve capital. Whether it’s IMF-driven austerity, land grabs by multinationals, or the violent suppression of protests, these injustices are made possible through the marriage of foreign power and domestic betrayal.
The only path forward is not through waiting for reforms or inviting foreign dignitaries to ‘improve’ governance. It is through organized struggle. It is through building people’s power from the grassroots up—through education, resistance, mutual aid, and mass mobilization.
Kenya does not need another messiah. Kenya needs a movement. A movement that centers the dignity of the poor, the landless, the unemployed youth, the slum dwellers, the exploited workers. A movement that demands not piecemeal reforms, but a total transformation of society.
The Dutch royals’ visit was a reminder that the empire still lives. But it also reminded us of our power: that in the face of betrayal, the people can organize, resist, and reclaim their future. Total liberation will not be given—it must be taken. And Kongamano La Mapinduzi is showing us how.
- Historical Issue Analysis: Kenya Parliament
Kenya Parliament – A history of betrayal
In a country battling record-high unemployment, a rising cost of living, and an overstretched public health system, the recent announcement of a pay rise for Members of Parliament couldn’t feel more out of touch. On March 20, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) approved a pay hike for Kenya’s 416 lawmakers, set to cost taxpayers an additional KSh 4.4 billion annually. That’s double what 3,000 medical interns were requesting — a modest KSh 2.2 billion — to be deployed and begin saving lives.
This latest move is not just a slap in the face to struggling Kenyans — it’s a continuation of Parliament’s long history of betrayal. Over the decades, Parliament has repeatedly chosen to serve the interests of the dictator of the day and the elite, rather than the people it claims to represent.
For example, in 1982 when Parliament passed a constitutional amendment turning Kenya into a one-party dictatorship. The now-infamous Section 2A made KANU the only legal party, legitimizing President Moi’s authoritarian grip on power and silencing all opposition. That betrayal laid the foundation for nearly a decade of tyranny.
Fast forward to 2013, Ruto and Uhuru are in power — newly elected MPs, instead of setting a tone of service and sacrifice, threatened to disband the Salaries and Remuneration Commission when it attempted to reduce their obscene pay. They bullied the SRC into submission, prioritizing personal wealth over national duty.
Then came the repeated failure to implement the two-thirds gender rule — a constitutional promise to ensure equitable gender representation. Parliament ignored its obligation, defying court orders and betraying the hopes of millions of Kenyan women. Despite multiple deadlines and rulings, they refused to pass the necessary laws.
In 2014, following a spate of terrorist attacks, Parliament passed the repressive Security Laws (Amendment) Act, which curtailed civil liberties, gagged the press, and handed sweeping powers to the executive. Critics rightly saw it as a return to autocracy — Parliament, once again, sided with US imperialism instead of the people.
And in 2023 and again in 2024, amid loud public opposition, Parliament approved the controversial Finance Bill. It introduced punitive taxes, including a housing levy and fuel VAT, worsening the already dire cost of living. MPs who had once promised to “hustle” alongside Kenyans chose to tax them instead.
Now, the pattern repeats. As doctors protest, children drop out of school, and families skip meals, our lawmakers are rewarding themselves — again. This isn’t just greed. It’s a symptom of structural failure. Parliament, by design or capture, serves the presidency, not the people. It has historically enabled dictatorship, rubber-stamped injustice, and insulated itself from public accountability.
It is time to rethink Kenya’s legislative architecture, #BungeMustGo. Do we need 416 MPs, many of whom vote on cue from Ruto or Farouk or Sudi? Should their salaries be pegged to national economic health and service delivery? Can we have real-time citizen oversight over budget votes?
Until we reckon with Parliament’s history of betrayal — and restructure it constitutionally — the cycle will continue. And the people, as always, will pay the price.
