Boniface Mwangi sues David Ndii for defamation.

Activist Boniface Mwangi has sued David Ndii regarding the remarks he made on his twitter pages on July 16 this year in relation to the funding of Linda Katiba.

In the tweet, Ndii claimed that Mwangi was paid to use President William Ruto’s campaign funds to join the scheme.

Boniface who is the complainant said, “Those words as published on the defendant’s twitter page and which are still there until the time of filing this case, were released to the public and could be seen by many people, inside and outside the country and were intended to refer to,”

In the tweet, Ndii said:

“At the time of the disclosure, Linda Katiba was created by me and Martha with the support of Ruto. At that time Martha was expected to be William Samoei Ruto’s running mate. She fully revealed why Makau Mutua was attacking me. He even paid Boniface from William Samoei Ruto’s campaign funds. All hypocrites,”

Ndii was responding to a tweet by a user named @McOsedoh, which read,

“I don’t believe that Bonny and Ndii were ever in a group called linda katiba fighting fiercely for the rule of law and respect for the constitution. How Ndii joined the rebels of the 2010 Kenyan Constitution is still unbelievable. Power Corrupt,”

After the tweet went viral, Mwangi threatened to take legal action against Ndii, who is the seat of the President’s council of economic advisers, for allegedly defaming his name.

In addition, the activist said he dedicated his time and resources to Linda Kattiba and did not ask for money from anyone.

n his statement of July 17, Mwangi said,

”I was not paid anything by anyone including William Ruto. If Ndii is ready to stand by his lies, then we will meet in court and see if he has evidence to support his lies,”

Martha Karua, who was mentioned in thE conversation and who also became a member of Linda Katiba’s group, criticized Ndii for his remarks and called him a liar. In his tweet on July 16, responding to Ndii Martha, She said:

“I am sorry that you have joined the ranks of unrepentant liars. In our cooperation in linda katiba we never disclosed any funding from William Samoei Ruto or anyone else. If at all William Ruto sponsored you, it is your personal interest,”

In addition, Martha continued to say,

“I don’t know Boniface Mwangi received money from William Ruto, I remember when Boniface was leaving we couldn’t reimburse him for his pocket expenses let alone pay him,”

In his claim, Bonface Mwangi said that, Ndii’s claim is false and motivated by hatred, with the intention of discrediting his reputation as it was not based on any grain of truth. He added that Ndii failed to use the tact to get an opinion from him or to apologize for his remarks despite being asked to do so.

In addition, the court in Nairobi has given Ndii 15 days to respond to the case.

According to the court, “if you fail to appear in court in the time mentioned above, the complainant can continue with the case and the judgment will be issued if you are not there,”
