Wednesday, November
12, 2025 - Activist Boniface Mwangi has shared a powerful glimpse into his
early life, revealing that his journey as a vocal advocate for justice began in
childhood.
In a candid post on Wednesday, November 12th,
2025, the activist disclosed that he was first jailed at just 11 years old and
later expelled from Approved School at 15 for speaking out against
exploitation.
“It is hard to believe that at just 11 years old, I was
already in jail, and by 15, they expelled me from the Approved School for
exposing how they were exploiting my fellow students,” Mwangi wrote.
His first encounter with law enforcement happened at Pangani
Police Station, marking the beginning of a decades-long relationship with
activism and arrests.
“I am 40 years old, and I have been arrested for the last 29
years,” he added.
Mwangi also shared a video of himself, his wife, and their
children touring different types of cells in Kenya, using the experience to
highlight the urgent need for police reform.
“Kenya has 104,000 police officers, and they’re consistently
ranked among the most corrupt institutions in Kenya,” he stated.
Mwangi, who has declared his intention to run for the Presidency
in 2027, outlined his vision for change, promising to eliminate corruption from
recruitment to deployment, improve police welfare, and upgrade outdated
stations.
“Police officers will be paid well… not those stinky, old,
hazardous stations built by colonialists,” he said.
Mwangi also pledged to push for legislation allowing
officers to form unions.
“We shall enact laws that allow them to have a union,” he
concluded.
