I have seen Boniface Mwangi’s work, including Kenya Burning. Until now, I felt that he had to be detached from this country’s woes to capture them in such distressing detail. But now I see that he is just as passionate as many of us to see things change here. No, actually, he’s infinitely more passionate. He’s friggin’ doing something about it.

This is a Kenyan who’s seen it all. And when he speaks (using words or camera clicks), I only hope the rest of Kenya is paying attention.
Let’s wake up.

There is a general feeling that Kenya is not for sale. We just have to support this ambitious youth to achieve the goals for Kenya’s development.

Let us pay attention to this noble cause!

Bonny, I know you are passionate about Kenya and I shall, take the same course as you are trying to do. Kenya has almost gone to the dogs.

in my opinion the only way to do what Boniface Mwangi wants is by voting this guys out; but its so sad that Kenyans will always forget the crap that we have gone through and will still vote for the same messed up people. it saddens me to see that no matter how many Boniface Mwangi’s we have out there trying to speak sense to the people we will still end up with a pathetic tomorrow because of having an ignorant community.
