Huyu jamaa ni cartoon tu! Boniface Mwangi explains why his newly launched political party has sugarcane as its symbol… Hold your laughter just yet

Boniface Mwangi has abandoned his earlier decision to run for Starehe parliamentary seat as an independent candidate.

The controversial Rights Activist has decided to launch his own political party dubbed Ukweli Party which is now his vehicle of choice to run for the Starehe seat.

Boniface Mwangi’s party has sugarcane as its official symbol, the wannabe MP was even seen chewing sugarcane during the launch of his party.

So what’s the story behind the sugarcane? Apparently Boniface picked the sugarcane symbol because his party is aspiring for a sweet Kenya.

“Our Party symbol is sugarcane. The luscious green sugarcane represents our land, which our forefathers and mothers fought for. It is also symbolic of what we believe every Kenyan should enjoy – the sweet taste of freedom and the fruits of their labor,” Boniface Mwangi explained.

Boniface claims Kenya is being choked by recycled, redundant and un-progressive leadership, he explains that his party will address the challenges faced by Kenyans.

“As Ukweli Party, we want a Kenya where we work collaboratively to address the challenges as we journey towards a better democratically literate nation. We want a Kenya where our leaders truly serve the people and stand behind the principles of fairness, inclusion and good stewardship.”

“Kenya’s political scene is oozing of recycled, redundant and un-progressive leadership yet somehow we hope that the same people who created this redundancy will fix it. Sometimes it’s as simple as saying I want better, I deserve better and I’m willing to participate in creating better.”

“We want to start creating a new way of doing, seeing, talking, and solving things because each of us must start imagining a new Kenya.”
