The death of Sudhir Kumar Vidyarthi has robbed the country of one of the pioneering printers who kept the flame for multi-partyism alive during Kenya's single party era.
Sudhir, who was also the director of Africa Cancer Foundation died on August 14, 2025, at the age of 79.
He came from a family of giants who shaped the future of East Africa, not just commercially but politically too.
Through Colourprint, the family signature business venture located along Kirinyaga Road and where he was managing director since 1970, Sudhir was among those who were in bad books with the ruling party, Kanu, for printing materials deemed too radical by the establishment.
