Prosecute Boniface Mwangi for hate speech  Activist

An activist has moved to court seeking orders to compel the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to prosecute activist Boniface Mwangi over alleged hate speech and breach of public peace.

Through his lawyer Ham Langat, Yegon said that Mwangi should be stopped from further publishing incitement comments on his social media pages.

The activist claims that Mwangi has been using his social platform to fan ethnic violence and incite the public, contrary to the National Cohesion and Integration Act.

He noted that during the infamous Willy Kimani Protests, he maliciously poured a red substance on police Spokesman Charles Owino an act which is punishable in-law for breach of public peace.

“Mwangi’s conduct should not go unpunished and the conduct by Boniface is clear evidence that the offence of hate speech and public peace has arisen and should not be left without legal consequence,” said Yegon.

He added that unless court issue orders there will be continuous degeneration as well as constitutional breach of office.

The activist claimed that Mwangi had continued to polarize the country and create ethnic animosity that was working against the efforts to unite the country.
