People & Power introduce … Redykyulass!
Kenyan comedians KJ, Walter Mongra, and Tony Njuguna are determined to get youth interested in politics using something you do not hear much in the offices of the political class – laughter.
With the Kenyan presidential elections set in December, Redykyulass is not wasting any time.
They perform on stage and in concert regularly across the country, encouraging young people to take a stand against a government mired with claims of corruption.
The group first made their name in political satire under the one-party regime of Daniel Moi. Now they are continuing the comedy with current President Mwai Kibaki – and his controversial wife Lucy.
