Boniface Mwangi, Protesters & Terror Charges: A Look Back at the June 25th Protests

On this episode: Hosts John-Allan Namu and Tom Mukhwana take a hard look at the fallout from the June 25th protests—beginning with the controversial arrest of activist Boniface Mwangi, now facing revised charges of illegal ammunition possession. What do these arrests signal for protestors and the right to dissent in Kenya?

Joining them are Njoki Maina, who leads the Uzima Mental Health Program at Usikimye, offering psychosocial support to survivors, and Cherry Makena, a lawyer and digital creator who recounts being robbed and teargassed during the protests.

We also reflect on the wider impact: dozens dead, hundreds injured or arrested, and disturbing accounts of sexual violence targeting women. Don’t miss this urgent conversation.
