Activist Boniface Mwangi has been blasted by Kenyans on Twitter for dragging the names of ODM party leader Raila Odinga and Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho into Mombasa economic crisis.

Mwangi who was speaking during demonstrations organised by Haki Africa Human Rights group on Monday said that Raila and Joho are to blame for the crisis that has come as a result of SGR.

The activist cited that Mombasa residents voted for Raila and Joho heavily in 2017 but the two have remained mum on the crisis that is threatening to kill the economy of the region.

Watu wa Mombasa walipigia kura @RailaOdinga @HassanAliJoho. Wasaliti wa watu wa Mombasa ni hao wawili, wabunge na ma MCA. Hao ndio walimpa Uhuru @StateHouseKenya ruhusa aharibu Uchumi wa Mombasa.Watu wa pwani kataeni utumwa wa Joho na Ndungu yake Abu. #okoamombasa #BlackMonday pic.twitter.com/E293XAqkrn

Mombasa residents have been demonstrating to protest against government’s move to let cargo from the coast be transported via SGR line, killing the economy of road transporters.

However, Kenyans have turned against Mwangi, accusing him of being petty. They argue that neither Joho nor Raila operate the SGR, nor are they in the national government.

They argue that Mwangi should blame the national government and leave Raila and Joho out of he discussions.

Here are some of the reactions.

This is being revisionist and disingenuous at best! Neither Joho nor Raila built that railway, they opposed its economics since day 1. Lay the blame where it should and stop taking the rest of us Kenyans for fools.. Your issue with Joho, his bro and Raila are personal.

The level of bigotry in our donor funded activist @bonifacemwangi is alarming. He can only be compared to his namesake Boni wamachina

This is another project just like Mariga. See jicho pevu at his side? So now Raila and Joho are the owners of SGR according to @bonifacemwangi who voted for UhuRuto government in starehe constituency.

When @HassanAliJoho criticised the government's move on SGR, many coastal leaders were being seen behind the tent and used to call him names.. not fore imagining that he has a simple rout to the high table than them.
Who is laughing now. It's already morning.. blanket for what?

Hakuna ujinga kama huu. If by removing unnecessary inefficient systems some people have found themselves jobless, so be it. Everybody else is striving to work efficiently when our 'dinosaur' activists fattened on donor dollars are striving to retain us down there as the belch.
