Voice of the People

"Voice of the People: A Play" by Okiya Omtatah Okoiti is a searing political drama that addresses themes of environmental corruption and social activism in contemporary Kenya. The narrative centers on the courageous protagonist, Nasirumbi, who wages a crusade to save the precious Simbi Forest against the powerful, hostile "powers-that-be" led by the self-serving figure of "Boss." This impactful play serves as a profound commentary on the moral integrity required to challenge political leadership and expose the dark side of development. It highlights the indispensable role of ordinary citizens in fighting for the greater good and the enduring strength of the people’s resolve against tyranny.
