Deputy President William Ruto (right) and activist Boniface Mwangi. In a response to the defamation suit filed by the Deputy President, Mr Boniface Mwangi, claims that his posts on Twitter were a fair comment and justified. Mr Mwangi claims that the DP has been in leaderships which have faced allegations of enforcing extra-judicial killings and disappearance. According to Mr Mwangi, the definition of Mr Ruto’s alleged nick name ‘Hustler’ means ‘thief’ as per the online etymology dictionary. He, therefore, wants it declared that Mr Ruto violated the Leadership & Integrity Act as well as the Public Officers Ethics Act.
