Comrades, friends, and all Kenyans,
I address you today to affirm that I am in good health and high spirits following the cowardly foiled assassination attempt against my life. This act of desperation serves only to strengthen our revolutionary resolve and commitment to the fight for justice, equality, and a free Kenya.

I take this moment to express my deepest gratitude for the overwhelming solidarity I have received, both nationally and internationally. Your messages of support have reminded me, and all of us, that the fight for a just society resonates far beyond our borders. Together, we affirm that no force can silence the collective will of the people.
Today, I also wish to inform the public that officers from the Serious Crimes Unit visited my residence and commenced an investigation into this attack. We cooperated fully, and I now urge the state to conduct a clear, transparent, and professional investigation. This is a critical opportunity for the state to absolve itself of any suspicion of involvement by ensuring that those behind this heinous act are brought to justice swiftly and decisively. The Kenyan people deserve nothing less, as it is our taxes that entrust the state with the responsibility of protecting the lives of all citizens without exception.
To my comrades in the Communist Party Marxist Kenya and to all progressive forces: let us remain united and vigilant. Such attempts to disrupt our struggle for a liberated and equitable society only prove the fear our enemies feel in the face of our growing strength. Let this moment deepen our resolve and ignite revolutionary optimism within our ranks.
The path to justice and socialism is never without struggle, but history shows us that the people, united in their determination, will always prevail.
Homeland or Death!
We shall win!
Forward ever, backward never!
In solidarity,
Booker Omole
General Secretary, Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya
