Governor Sonko expresses his happiness as Boniface Murage Wangechi, a 2-year-old father who tried to steal a baby out of KNH, is freed.

We are also following up with Boniface Murage Wangeci who was arrested and presented before milimani law courts for trying to smuggle his daughter out of Kenyatta National Hospital as he couldn’t raise ksh 56,000 bill. Sonko posted on Monday 18th.

He is only 22yrs and jobless but the love for his daughter forced him to mess the law just like any father.He pleaded guilty and the court is set to sentence him tomorrow.The man never involved himself in crime or unlawful deals.
Boniface Murage’s freedom was applauded by Kenyans and Sonko expressed his sincere happiness on the same.
” I’m happy Boniface Murage is now a free man after the court gave him a 3-month non custodial sentence since he pleaded guilty for attempting to smuggle his baby out of Kenyatta National Hospital as he couldn’t raise an outstanding hospital bill amounting to Sh 56,000.” Sonko added after Boniface was released.
Sonko also urged Kenyans to be people of good deeds and help the less fortunate in society.
I'm happy Boniface Murage is now a free man after the court gave him a 3-month non custodial sentence since he pleaded guilty for attempting to smuggle his baby out of Kenyatta National Hospital as he couldn't raise an outstanding hospital bill amounting to Sh 56,000.Murage has promised to adhere to all the strict conditions set by the court of not being involved in crime during the 3-month probation period. Last evening my team shopped for Murage's family including his daughter who was released from the hospital afte a good Samaritan settled their hospital bill. I'm appealing to other Kenyans to offer good deeds to the less fortunate members of the society as a way of showing generosity. As the Ambassador of good deeds in Africa, I'll be hosting the Good Deeds Day in April 7th to promote good deeds in our society.Governor Mike Sonko
