Amicus Curiae? Judiciary Gets Unlikely Friend
You have known him for all the wrong reasons when it comes to matters of the court but this time round, Boniface Mwangi the outspoken Rights Activist was a friend of the Judiciary for a good course.
He speaks his mind, he tells the truth and he is the darling of the ‘oppressed’ in society. Activist Boniface Mwangi ultimately reveals his inspirational speech during the swearing in ceremony for advocates. He was the surprising guest at the occasion but his speech was one that if the rookies took into consideration surely the country’s judiciary will turn to win public trust.
Boniface reveals he wanted to become a journalist and a lawyer because former tells the truth and the latter defends the truth however he did not make it but still defend the people through his activism. He challenged the graduating advocate to make a change in the countries Judiciary as he referred to them as the clean river flowing into an already polluted system; to change a dirty river you need a clean tributary flowing into the river as the river could not be cleaned by emptying it.
Here is full speech from the Activist:
