Wow kumbe Kenyans are this generous! Boniface Mwangi discloses the amount of money he has received in donations from Kenyans

Boniface Mwangi and Mohammed Ali are the only the only wannabe MPs who have gone to the electorates and asked them to raise money for their campaigns.

Even though this is a popular tradition in Western nations, it’s a strange practice in Kenya because it’s politicians who give people handouts and not vice versa.

Anyway Kenyans are sending Boniface Mwangi money for his campaign, the controversial Rights Activist has revealed how much he has received so far.

“I would like to take this time to Thank You for supporting me. So far, I have managed to raise about KES 160,000 ($1600) from people that I have never met before,” Boniface disclosed.

He explained that most people who donated to him were just common citizens – the same people who have shown him compassion and offered him encouragement.

“A big Thank You to the people l met in the streets and they donated 10bob here, 20bob there, in support of my campaign. Thank you to the shoe-maker in Kariokor Market who made me a pair of shoes; to the Boda-Boda Rider who refused to let me pay him and said “that’s my contribution to your campaign.

“Thank You to everyone who has told me to keep up the fight, who has told me they will stand with me, who has told one other person about my campaign. Thank You, one and all.

“I appreciate you all. Not only are you supporting me with your votes and entrusting me with your money, you are keeping me strong when the campaign trail gets tough.”
