Boniface Mwangi Threatens to Sue Ndii Over Defamatory Tweet

Human Rights activist Boniface Mwangi has threatened legal action against David Ndii, the head of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers.

Mwangi threatened to sue Ndii for defamation after the latter claimed that he (Mwangi) had been paid to serve as one of the Linda Katiba’s conveners.

Linda Katiba is a citizen-led initiative that is adamantly opposed to any attempt by the government to unconstitutionally cannibalize and subvert the will of the people.

“I volunteered my time and resources to Linda Katiba. I did not ask anyone for money. 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 we will see if he has the evidence to support his lies,” Mwangi said.

Ndii had on Sunday claimed that the activist received money from then deputy President William Ruto champion the cause.

“Time for revelations. Linda Katiba was formed by myself and Martha with Ruto’s support. Martha was then prospect for WSR running mate. Made full disclosure which is why Makau Mutua was attacking me. Even paid Boniface from WSR campaign money. Hypocrites the whole lot,” he said.

But through James Njeri and Co Advocates, Mwangi wants the economist to delete the tweet and issue a written unconditional apology.

In the demand letter, Mwangi also wants Ndii not to publish or utter any further defamatory words against him.

“Your tweet has subjected our client to online bullying and attacks from trolls causing him great distress and irreparable damage to his hard-earned reputation as a bastion of society against injustice,” the demand letter reads.

“Take notice that unless we receive your admission of liability within seven days, we have mandatory instructions to pursue legal proceedings against you for defamation.”
