On behalf of the Communist Party of Kenya, we mourn Micere Githae Mugo, a towering revolutionary icon who died hours ago. A powerful dramatist, author, activist, lecturer, and poet who fought for justice and liberation died at 81.

Micere Githae Mugo's life exemplifies true revolutionaries' tenacity. She bravely embraced her African identity and used her words to fight Kenya's oppressive policies.

Micere Githae Mugo's steadfast advocacy and quest of truth and freedom placed her among those who opposed Daniel Arap Moi's authoritarian administration. She fled to Zimbabwe and the US in 1982 due to her activity. Micere Mugo's orature, literature, and creative writing lessons shaped a generation of intellectually free rebels.

Micere Githae Mugo's six novels, including a drama co-written with Ngugi wa Thiong'o and three notable monographs, have left an indelible mark. She edited important publications and shaped the Zimbabwean school curriculum. She worked to empower generations with information and critical thinking, enriching African literature and education.

The Communist Party of Kenya recognises Micere Githae Mugo's 2002 East African Standard list of Kenya's 100 most influential persons. This honour shows her commitment to social justice and mass awakening.

As we mourn this revolutionary wordsmith, let us recommit to her ideals. Inspired by Micere Githae Mugo's unwavering fortitude and powerful voice, we will continue to examine and dismantle our society's repressive systems.

Let us honour Micere Githae Mugo by carrying the flame of revolution in this time of deep sadness and thought. May her spirit lead us as we fight for a Kenya without exploitation and justice for all.

Comrade Micere Githae Mugo, rest in power. Your remarks will inspire many.
