Thursday, January 29, 2026 - Activist Boniface Mwangi has made a startling revelation, claiming that he was once approached and offered money to testify in favor of President William Ruto and former President Uhuru Kenyatta during their cases at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Speaking on the Iko Nini Podcast, Mwangi said the
alleged offer came from a lawyer linked to the Government side when the two
leaders were facing charges over the 2007 post‑election violence.
“When these guys, Uhuru and Ruto, were in The Hague, one of
the lawyers from the Government side approached me and offered me money to
testify as a witness and say that the 2007 post‑election violence was
spontaneous,” he revealed.
Mwangi stressed that he rejected the offer outright,
insisting that no amount of money could convince him to give false testimony.
“I can’t discuss how much I was offered because it was not a
consideration; the moment we start discussing the amount, it’s like I
considered it.”
“Whether it was Ksh1 or Ksh1 billion, I wouldn’t have taken
it,” he added.
His revelation comes just days after he launched a scathing
attack against former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, warning that
supporting him for the presidency would amount to reviving the Uhuru Kenyatta
era.
“I think Matiangi is a problem. The mess in CBC, you know
Matiangi was co‑president for Uhuru. This CBC was a rushed thing, it was done
by Matiangi.”
“And then if you go online, he was investigated by EACC for
the Ruaraka land scandal,” Mwangi said.
He further argued that electing Matiang’i would bring back
Jubilee‑era frustrations, likening them to unfulfilled promises such as the
laptops project.
“I also think electing Matiang’i or considering Matiang’i is
bringing Uhuru back into power,” Mwangi added.
