Magistrate Samson Temu Message To Activist Boniface Mwangi
Samson Temu, Senior Principal Magistrate at Kibera Law Courts, message of advice to activist Boniface Mwangi during a court case. We have attached an audio version below the text.
Why do you want these guys to kill you? You know these guys — we train them to kill people, not animals. I don't know why you guys don't know. These guys are trained to kill what? By the time you confirm and convince them that you are not a thug, you're dead.
So please, Mwangi, tuliza ball. You have life, you have your people who love you more than we do. You can die for us, but it will not be enough. I will go home, and I will not even think that you died, but your people will think forever that you died. Can you start living for your people? Leave Kenyans to go their way, be there for your people.
Or you don't have a wife and children?
Mwangi response: Actually, my wife and my son are here.
Yes, you should even be having your parents. Be for your people. Forget about Kenya — Kenya will take care of itself with God.
