Kenyan activist and photojournalist Boniface Mwangi has made headlines after rejecting his appointment as Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) by President William Ruto.
Mwangi, long known for his outspoken stance on corruption and social justice, described the appointment as a “poisoned chalice,” arguing that the current administration lacks the integrity needed to deliver meaningful change. His decision has ignited public debate on the accountability of leaders and the role of activists in formal politics.
Political analysts suggest Mwangi’s move highlights growing skepticism among Kenyans about government appointments and the sincerity of reforms promised by the administration. While some praised his bold stand, others criticized him for walking away from an opportunity to “change the system from within.”
The rejection underscores a broader conversation about trust in governance, with Mwangi choosing activism and independence over political compromise.
