Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has accused top government officials of targeting him in a bid to eliminate him.
Speaking on Monday, July 21, shortly after his release, Mwangi claimed the government was using criminal charges to intimidate and silence him.
“I know for sure what Murkomen and Ruto want to do to me, and I will say it without fear,” Mwangi stated, naming President William Ruto and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen as those behind the alleged plan. “They want to give me a bad name so they can kill me.”
Addressing the media and a crowd of supporters outside the court, the renowned activist stated that the government’s actions were part of a wider campaign to suppress dissent.
“Change is coming and you cannot stop change,” he said. “You can never kill an idea. The idea that Ruto must go has come, and you can never undo it.”
Mwangi alleged that police officers arrested him at his Lukenya home without a valid reason and later conducted searches at both his home and his office, adding that the officers claimed they had intelligence that he was distributing money to protest organizers.

“They thought I had money in the office. If you look at the search warrant, they said I distribute money to goons,” he said. “I’ve never worked with goons my entire life. The people I’ve worked with are here. None of us are terrorists.”
Mwangi also criticized the use of the Prevention of Terrorism Act to charge young protesters, accusing the state of using trumped-up charges to discourage civil unrest.
“For the first time in a long time, Kenya has political prisoners as young as 18. Kids who went to the streets to protest for a better Kenya have been charged with terrorism,” he said. “What they want to do is break my spirit.
But you cannot break my spirit. The only way you’re going to break me is to kill me. But even if I die, ideas don’t die. The revolution will go on.”
Boniface Mwangi was arrested on Saturday, July 19, as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) accused him of facilitating terrorist activities in relation to the June 25, 2025, protests. However, in a revised charge sheet, the prosecution now claim that Mwangi was in passion of ammunition and teargas canisters.
