Boniface Mwangi has always been accused by Kenyans of being a Instagram-liking-activist that is sponsored by Wazungus.
He has never denied these claims.
Him and his ilk, like shadowboxing corruption.
In laymans terms, shadowboxing is the action of appearing to fight something while in the real sense not really putting in the required efforts.
They only appear to fight corruption yet they are beneficiaries and opportunists waiting to make money from donors and all those who support their ‘activist’ lives.
You’ve seen them online, people like Ory Okolloh Mwangi.
Boniface became rich by selling the 2007/09 post election violence (PEV) pictures. This guy deals in violence porn.
In a protest, he can even hide himself and inflict injuries upon himself just for the cameras.
No difference with Ory Okolloh, the NIS agent.
Yesterday, he posted a tweet to the effect that Kenyans weren’t supporting the protests against corruption, and the trolling began.
People called him out for his double-speak and insincerity.
See some tweets that we sampled.

You can't vote corruption thrice then pretend to fight it.
Let's complete this journey in peace

Why are people bothered with corruption @bonifacemwangi – is there any bigger corruption would be compared to twisting people's will at the ballot and that you supported #BeyondZeroCorruption
