Boniface Mwangi AKA the people's watchman has recently addressed a video of him vandalizing property at a Nairobi Hospital while seeking treatment after an accident.

In the video, Bonface Mwangi is seen arguing with security staff.

He has clarified that the incident occurred on the 21st of August 2022. He narrated that he and his wife, Hellen Njeri, got into an accident while in a friend’s car along Lang’ata road.

The first witnesses who arrived at the scene of the accident looted their personal property but soon after came Good Samaritans who took them to the hospital.

Upon arrival at the facility, the hospital demanded that he pays for treatment. Meanwhile, Boniface Mwangi’s wife was in a state of delirium and unconsciousness. The Human Rights Activist says that he had no money or wallet and he was frustrated by the pre-conditions set by the hospital.

“Emergency health care is a right in the Constitution (Article 43(2)) and in my desperation to get the hospital management to attend to my wife beyond taking her vitals and giving her painkillers, I ended up raising my voice, breaking some things, and causing a scene,” Boniface said.

The hospital, however, only made payment after Boniface Mwangi made the required payment.

As a result of his vandalism at the hospital, he was also taken to Akila Police Station.

He was however fined 106.000 Kenyan Shillings to renovate the damages he caused at the Nairobi-based Hospital.

He now says the actions he resorted to getting his wife treated were wrong and he apologized. He also apologized to the staff working at the reception for roughing them up.

Boniface Mwangi has noted that his wife is now fully recuperated and back to work. He also thanked his friends for assisting Hellen Njeri to get the help she needed.

The activist has faulted hospitals that demand deposit first before ensuring the stability of a patient.

"Why do hospitals require a deposit to administer emergency treatment? Do we value profit more than human life?" He asked.

He also faulted Kenyans who steal from accident victims rather than help them.
