Boniface Mwangi 'needs some love', Moses Kuria says after JKL walk-out

Activist Boniface Mwangi is lost in a "miasma of self-made hate" and "needs some love", Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has said.

Kuria severely criticised Mwangi after he walked out of the Jeff Koinange Live Show on Wednesday, upon the legislator's arrival.

The MP said in a post on his Facebook page that the activist needs to be saved from "totally wallowing and drowning" in that state

Trouble started when Mwangi walked out of the show just after the interview began. He told the Star by phone that the host was to blame.

Kuria said he was not invited to the show but decided to walk in and ask Mwangi a few questions as he was at the location.

"I happened to have been around my usual hangout- Villa Rosa Kempinski -

and noticed Jeff Koinange having a discussion with Boniface Mwangi on matters integrity," he wrote.

"I could not resist temptations to ask Njeri's husband, Boni, a few questions."

The MP said he wanted to know the activist's source of funds, to allegedly overthrow the government, and why he quit media.

"Why are you funded by George Soros, the American mercenary, to overthrow the elected Kenyan government?" Kuria asked in the post.

"When you were a street urchin you were saved by then Nairobi PC Joseph Kaguthi and he handed you over to Waithaka Waihenya at Standard Newspapers. What did you do?"

The legislator attacked Mwangi further, saying he was destitute until the violence that followed the 2007/7 post-election violence.

"You got a comeback selling photos of dead people to Western media. (With) the Sh6 million you were paid for photos of dead people you started PAWA 254 centre on State House Crescent, later funded by Michael Ranneberger and the US Embassy," he went on.

Kuria said the government cannot be "all that bad" if Kaguthi rescued Mwangi "from glue and marijuana in the streets".

Regarding the activist's walk-out, he said it was his right.

"I have no problem. But I had organised for you rehabilitation centre admission," he said.

During the show,

Kuria defended the government over the recent Sh5.3 billion scandal at 'Mafya House' scandal. He said he will resign as MP if it is established that the Health ministry misappropriated

funds.

Mwangi did not respond to calls and messages for comment on Kuria's post but he said on Wednesday that "I cannot discuss any matter with the likes of Kuria".

"I cannot respond to lies by Moses Kuria. He is someone else dog," Mwangi told the Star on his way to Parliament police station where some of the protesters arrested earlier had been taken to.
