Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has said that he will not go to seek political asylum away from Kenya even after what he views as intimidation and threats from powerful people in the country.
In Friday interview on NTV, Mwangi lamented over the rampant levels of corruption and poor governance which the country has been subjected to.
“I’m going to continue this fight, through all the threats, intimidation, death… whatever it is. They can threaten me all they want, but I’m not leaving this country, I’m not running away,” Mwangi vowed.
“Boniface Mwangi is not leaving Kenya. If you kill me you gonna bury me here… I’m gonna fight for this country, and let death come, if it comes… I’m not afraid and I’m never selling my voice and I will never sell out. Kenya belongs to all of us and I love my country. That will never change, no matter what,” he continued.
He is currently battling defamatory charges against Deputy President William Ruto after the DP linked him to the murder of businessman Jacob Juma in a series of tweets which he (Mwangi) made on September 28.
