Political activist Edwin Kiama Mutemi, who recently had a run-in with the Government over his poster painting Uhuru Kenyatta as a President who has an insatiable appetite for loans, has won an elective seat in a continental NGO.
Kiama will represent East Africa at the Africans Rising NGO for a period of three years.
Africans Rising is a Pan-African movement of people and organisations, working for peace, justice and dignity.
The lobby group says, on its website, that it is focused on improving accountability, ending corruption and pushing for freedom of expression rights to be observed in African countries.
