First post. Hello, all, and happy new year.

I would not go so far as to insult Boniface Mwangi, but I have to say I disagree with his methods. There are much better ways to do some of these things. I am particularly disappointed by the way he handled the show with Larry Madowo, which seems to be the way he and his cohorts handle every single show they are invited to - shouting people down the minute a valid point seems like it will rear its head. Yes, the land was grabbed, and that should not have happened. It needs to be returned to the school and the grabber should face the long (or, in Kenya, selective) arm of the law. Yes, it was VERY WRONG to teargas innocent children.

But Boniface should also be held responsible for what he has done. He says the children went to the field to play at break time. He denies that there were protests. He denies using the children. How convenient that he just happened to have a few kid-sized placards for them to hold out.

Perhaps I am biased. I have just never agreed with his creepy methods that seem to always involve gory artifacts - and that always end with him shouting everybody down on TV afterwards.

Sad that my first post is a) an epistle and b) something that is likely to be met with hostility... but oh, well. Good morning and happy Tuesday!

that MP has decorum. Not everyone can take such rubbish from activists trying too hard to remain relevant.

The end justifies the means. Well said.

kudos to boni, he is my hero - I wish more and more kenyans were like him we would be so much far ahead, the asian tigers kando.
