Kenya’s leadership crisis: Arresting Boniface Mwangi—Really?
Kenya’s political landscape is in turmoil. As the government continues to target outspoken activists like Boniface Mwangi, who dares to speak the truth, the real criminals—corrupt politicians—are left untouched, enjoying the fruits of stolen millions. These stolen funds could have been used to improve Kenya’s health system, education sector, and support the livelihoods of farmers. Instead, the country is stuck in an endless cycle of neglect while the people who need it most suffer.
Why the arrest of Boniface Mwangi is a distraction
In Kenya, police forces and the DCI (Directorate of Criminal Investigations) seem focused on arresting human rights defenders like Boniface Mwangi. They target those who speak out against a broken system, rather than going after the politicians and elites who are robbing the country blind. Boniface Mwangi, a passionate advocate for the people, has been relentlessly vocal about the corruption that plagues Kenya’s government.
Yet, when you look around, it’s clear the government has lost touch with reality. Instead of focusing on activists like Mwangi, the government should be taking action against the political elites who are stealing millions of dollars. These funds could have been used to build better hospitals, pay teachers a decent salary, and provide affordable healthcare to all Kenyans.
