OCS Peter Mugambi Summoned to Court as Police Fabrication Unravels in the Booker Omole CaseFrom the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya
The Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya addresses all Party members, all progressive forces in Kenya, and the international working class movement on the unfolding political persecution of our General Secretary, Booker Ngesa Omole.
The initial facts of the case in the pre trial proceedings of Booker Omole vs Republic are now emerging with clarity. What was presented to the public as a criminal case is increasingly being exposed as a politically motivated fabrication directed against the leadership of the revolutionary movement in Kenya.
The Registrar of the Firearms Bureau has now submitted an updated report confirming that General Secretary Booker Omole is a lawful firearm holder. This official report directly disproves the allegations previously advanced by OCS Peter Mugambi, who had claimed that the General Secretary was in illegal possession of a firearm. Faced with this evidence, the prosecution has already moved to amend the charge sheet and replace the original accusation with a new allegation of misuse of a firearm.
This retreat by the prosecution demonstrates that the foundation of the case that was used to arrest, detain and imprison the General Secretary was false.
During the same pre trial proceedings, the lead police witness, Mr Andrew Amoth, filed an affidavit and took an oath before the court. In his sworn statement he narrated how he was coerced and threatened by the police to frame the General Secretary. In his testimony he specifically named OCS Peter Mugambi and the investigating officer Mr Munene as the officers who directed the fabrication of the allegations.
According to the sworn testimony of Mr Amoth, the OCS demanded that he cooperate with the police without any search warrant or lawful order. He was accused of renting a house to what the police falsely described as an extremist organisation allegedly linked to foreign governments and criminal networks. He was told that he must either assist the police in the framing of the General Secretary or face arrest and the destruction of his business.
