According to Wikipedia, Boniface Mwangi (born July 10, 1983) is an award-winning Kenyan photojournalist involved in social-political activism through his initiative Team Courage.
Boniface Mwangi has been able to do something that most courageous Kenyans have does not have the courage to do and that is to stand for something that is right regardless of who you are in society and every single person in high places knows exactly who Boniface Mwangi is and to many, he strikes fear upon them, hapendi ujinga with corruption.
His book ‘Unbounded‘ is a clear certification of Boniface Mwangi’s dedication, pledge, loyalty, and love for his country, our country Kenya and you can now get a copy for yourself and be a part of the change that we always want to be.
He hits the nail on the head in every chapter I tell you, go get yourself this book.
moving on …
According to my opinion, if Boniface Mwangi could have power in government, Kenya will really be a great place to live in and I can tell you for free that corruption would be at a minimum existence if there was any. If we could only have leaders like Boniface Mwangi who hates corruptions just as half as he does, if only!
Below are the 6 facts about Boniface Mwangi that will make Kenya great again and Kenya will be super great again if we play a part in these facts also
1. Courage
Boniface Mwangi recently stopped an MP from using the wrong side of the road and didn’t care who he was and claimed saying that we are both under the constitution and no one is above it, even him which ideally it’s very true.
Tell me one person you know of that has the courage to stop a whole Member of Parliament’s car and tell him/her that he is doing something wrong? tell me because I sure don’t know anyone but Boniface Mwangi.
Boniface has an initiative called Team Courage which ideally instills hope and courage in young youth to be able to stand up for themselves and enabling patriotic citizens to take bold and effective actions in building a new Kenya. Check the stunning courageous video below
2. Speaks his mind
Everybody who has come to know who Boniface Mwangi is has come to find out how he is free to speak his mind regardless of the person who is talking about if a person does wrong regardless of what or who he is, even if he is a Member of Parliament(MP) or a Senator or even the Deputy President of Kenya he doesn’t care and that has caused him a lot of trouble and currently he has been sued by the Deputy President William Ruto. Now, this is a courageous man that can be a leader because he has a gift and that not many leaders don’t have and that’s courage.
3. Doesn’t condone corruption
Boniface Mwangi has always stated how much he despises corruption in Kenya and Kenya being the 14th most corrupt country in Africa according to Africa ranking shows you how much corruption is in the country and how much we need people like Boniface Mwangi who are ready and willing to fight corruption no matter the cost because Boniface Mwangi is that one guy who is ready and willing to kick corruption out of the country and make sure the corrupt gets the justice that they most deserve but he can’t do it alone, we need to help him fight this cancerous vice.
In one of the many letters Boniface Mwangi has written to President Uhuru Kenyatta, this one that he wrote on his birthday caught my attention, it reads;
My daughter and President Uhuru Kenyatta have something in common. They both attended the same kindergarten: Lady Northey Nursery School along State House Avenue, a school run by Nairobi County government.
When Uhuru was a pupil there, the school had a big piece of land.
This was not the case when my daughter was there; a big part of the land had been grabbed by a church.
Today, President Uhuru turns 55 and going by his recent remarks, ‘What do you want me do?’, he might ask his handlers, “What do l do on my birthday?”
Here is something he can do for my daughter and other children across this country.
Ensure that every public school has a title deed.
TEARGASSED
After the police teargassed Lang’ata Road Primary School children who were protesting the grabbing of their school land, President Kenyatta directed the Ministry of Lands to issue title deeds to all schools.
I would like to inform him that hasn’t happened.
There are cases every week of public schools complaining of private developers hiving off part of their land.
The Jubilee government has said they will distribute 1.2 million tablets to all the 23,951 public primary schools by December 2016.
It would be great if those tablets can be issued to schools together with title deeds.
Private developers have grabbed police, military, mortuary and cemetery land. They are now going after schools.
A good percentage of the 23,951 public schools in Kenya do not have title deeds or lease certificates for the land they occupy.
According to Shule Yangu Alliance for the protection of public schools, 11,000 public schools currently face immediate risks from land-grabbers.
CORRUPTION
Historically, communities used to donate land for schools to be built on and many Kenyans have been educated because of such acts. Our country today has such entrenched corruption that powerful and well-connected individuals are grabbing public land for personal use.
If no action is taken, public schools, specifically those among marginalized communities, face extinction. The repercussions of this are horrifying. It threatens the rights of children in Kenya to education. We are custodians of our children’s future and as we borrow and mortgage their future, can we at the very least ensure their schools are safe and secure from the greedy land-grabbers?
School kids don’t have votes but safeguarding schools is securing Kenya’s future.
Mr President, may you realize on your birthday that shifting blame is not a good quality for a leader. If you can’t fight corruption and lead by example, who do you expect to do it?
Happy Birthday, looking forward to seeing that all public school have title deeds!
If you ask me I think Boniface Mwangi can make a good director at the Ethics and Anti-corruption commission in Milimani/Valley road junction.
4. Respects and upholds the constitution
All along Boniface Mwangi doesn’t believe that anyone is above the law whatsoever, not even himself and if you are a keen follower of what’s going on social media you will see how he stopped am MP from using the wrong route after he left the parliament, the video went viral and made people know that even the MPs are just as humans as we are and they too needs to uphold and live by the constitution of Kenya. Watch again the courageous video of Boniface Mwangi standing tall against an MP below.
5. Hates Tribalism
Boniface Mwangi like many Kenyans does not condone and/or allow tribalism to be a part of them and he has been on the forefront condemning the tribalist leaders in Kenya and telling them how they will take back Kenya to what happened on the last elections. Below are two social media posts of what Boniface Mwangi shared condemning tribalism and tribalist leaders in Kenya way back in February 12th 2015 and October 6th 2015.

6. Loves Kenya
If you don’t love your country, if you are not a patriot there is no way you can be doing stuff like what Boniface Mwangi is doing for the country and not just for himself, Boniface Mwangi loves his country Kenya and that’s why he is an activist first. Boniface Mwangi simply loves Kenya with all the faults it has and so should all of us love Kenya as much as Boniface Mwangi does.
One thing you should know though Boniface Mwangi also is that he is selfless as he sold three of his vehicles to start up a startup PAWA 254 so that he can uplift the youth and create jobs to the many jobless Kenyans. Now does this proof how qualified, gifted, talented and honest Boniface Mwangi can be as a leader? if you believe he is a leader, vote for him come 2017 for the Starehe constituency since he is vying for that seat as he made it official via his Twitter account below
