  • His words come a few days after his house, which is under construction was bombed by unknown assailants.

Activist Boniface Mwangi has called on Kenyans not to let the trauma of living in Kenya make them hate those who are fighting and demanding better.

He went on to say that, that notwithstanding they can hate him but they should not wish death on him.

The activist added that they can go ahead and insult or troll him, but no one should wish any harm upon his family.

"You can hate me, but please don’t wish me death. You can hate, insult, troll me, but don’t wish my family harm, or even death. Don't let the trauma of this country make you hate those who demand better," said Mwangi.

His words come a few days after his house, which is under construction was bombed by unknown assailants.

On Wednesday, October 20, Mwangi had accused Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua of deploying state operatives to bomb his house.

The house was under construction in Lukenya, Machakos County.

The activist noted that he was “hurting” since his family had invested massive resources in the project.

"The state working for @DrAlfredMutua have bombed my family home in Lukenya, Machakos county, and robbed my employees. They realised hashtags can't scare me and they're now using explosives. I still don't fear because the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He shall protect me," he tweeted.

The police later said that a report of the incident had been filed at the Thika Police Station.

"The National Police Service wishes to confirm that a report was this morning filed at Thika Police Station by one Issac Ouma that a house belonging to one Boniface Mwangi, located at Kinanie Location, was attacked by three (3) unknown men in a white pickup Registration Number not known and allegedly armed with pistols," the statement read in part.

"The attackers accosted the site workers, robbed them of personal effects and assaulted the building still under construction with detonators causing three holes. Police have visited the scene and commenced investigations."

No suspect has been arrested so far.
