On January 11, 2023, at about 5 am, three uniformed police officers stormed the home of Felix's parents in Mumbuni, Kitui and took Felix's life with several gunshots. Felix was shot right in front of his parents and siblings. His murder was carried out only a few days after President Ruto appeared on national TV to assure the Kenyans that extra-judicial killings, a common practice with every successive regime in Kenya, would be a thing of the past.
The Communist Party of Kenya demands the immediate arrest of the police who took an innocent soul, and in addition to the arrest, conduct a speedy investigation, prosecution and jailing of the persons responsible for this heinous crime. Kenyans do not fund the Kenya Kwanza government to invest in a death machine in the name of the Kenya Police Service.
At the time of his untimely death, Felix was a trusted Communist Party of Kenya cadre member attached to the Kitui party branch. The corporate media, which is always awash with news when the dirty corrupt, filthy politicians die, has been silent on extra-judicial killings. It is telling that the assassinations of poor people remain conspicuously missing in the mainstream corporate media. Their silence is a chilling story that should not go unnoticed by the defenders of justice and those seeking to hold the Kenya Kwanza government to account.
