Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo has come to the defence of Butere Girls High School students over their controversial play Echoes of War, arguing that its political message is a legitimate form of artistic expression that reflects Kenya’s current reality.
Speaking during a local media interview on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, Odhiambo decried what she termed as hypocrisy in criticising student performances that explore political themes, pointing out that many of Kenya’s approved school set books are rooted in political struggles both locally and globally.
