Activist Boniface Mwangi on Wednesday sent Twitter into a frenzy after he referred to Kenyans as “slaves.”
The former Starehe Constituency MP aspirant was talking about the unreliable public transport system that forces the common people to wake up early in order to beat the heavy traffic.
“Slaves heading to work! It’s 5:30am and there is traffic on Mlolongo heading to Nairobi city.Kenya lacks a reliable public transport system so every slave who gets a job applies for a car loan,” he said.
The very outspoken Pawa 254 founder further castigated Kenyans for voting in their corrupt tribesmen to lead the country.
“The slaves also elect idiots from their tribe to lead them. Liberate your minds slaves,” Boniface added.
Some KoT agreed with the activist while others thought the remarks were disrespectful.
Those who disagreed said:

Leonardo de NjiruSlave is a poor choice of word. The Bible encourages people to work and refers to workers as servants. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working for somebody.
