Warrant of arrest issued against activist Boniface Mwangi

A warrant of arrest has been issued against vocal human right activist and PAWA 254 founder Boniface Mwangi.

According to the warrant that was issued on Thursday, Mr Mwangi failed to appear in court for the mention of a case where he was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at the Wilson Airport Police Station on March 7, 2014.

Mwangi was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, November 2 but it is alleged that he skipped court with no valid reason and did not send a legal representative, prompting Principal Magistrate Barbara Ojoo of Kibera Court to order for his immediate arrest.

Fresh from winning a petition against Deputy President William Ruto, Boniface Mwangi caused a stir on social media on Wednesday after he walked out of a live interview on Jeff Koinange’s show JKL before holding mass protests on Thursday to call on President Uhuru Kenyatta to either act on corruption or resign.

The case will be mentioned on December 8.
