Kenya: Boniface Mwangi Demands Answers On 'Sale' of Kenyan Passports to Foreigners
Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has raised concerns over the alleged issuance of Kenyan passports to foreigners, claiming it was done under questionable orders from high government officials.
In a recent statement that stirred up public discourse, Kenyan human rights activist and presidential aspirant Boniface Mwangi has accused government officials of issuing Kenyan passports to foreign nationals under dubious orders. Mwangi published a list on social media that purportedly details the individuals granted citizenship, raising urgent questions about the integrity of the immigration process in Kenya. This revelation has sparked outrage among citizens, who are concerned about corruption and the potential misuse of national identity policies.
Mwangi specifically highlighted the case of Zimbabwean national Wicknel Chivayo, emphasizing that Chivayo's receipt of a Kenyan passport was part of a larger scheme meant to facilitate election fraud in the upcoming 2027 Kenyan elections. The allegations suggest a dangerous intersection of immigration practices and political machinations, leading to fears that the government may be manipulating citizenship as a means to secure electoral advantages. This has further fueled an ongoing debate about transparency in government processes and the safeguarding of democratic integrity.
The situation raises critical implications not only for Kenya's governance but also for public trust in national institutions. Mwangi’s claims, if proven true, could potentially unravel existing narratives about the transparency of Kenya's immigration system and highlight systemic flaws that may threaten national security. As the story develops, the Kenyan government is expected to respond to these accusations, and Mwangi's actions are likely to mobilize further scrutiny on the nation’s immigration policies and political ethics in the lead-up to the elections.
