Finally, Kenyans in Rwanda under the association named All Kenyans in Rwanda have voted Boniface Mutua as their chairman, though at some point his candidature was derailed for a month by a few who allegedly wanted to cling to the executive posts.
According to some voters who turned up at the Kenyan Embassy located in Kacyiru, voting Mutua was the way forward to the association’s growth..
“Many promise us wonders when they are campaigning but once we elect them they shy away from their pledges.Anyway, Mutua seems to be a performer and a visionary man we hope he doesn’t change,” says one Caroline Wambui.
On his part the unopposed Mutua assured AKR members that he will do his best to change the leadership history of the association where the outgoing executive is accused of be having been corrupt and greedy.
He adds that his first task is to register members who had paid registration fees but didn’t appear anywhere on the members list. “This is one of the signs of corrupt activities I want to end,” Mutua assured voters.
Prior to his nomination, Mutua had already started a campaign to collect donations of food and money to help those suffering of hunger in Kenya’s famine stricken areas.
He also wants foreigners to take part in national activities since they are also part of the society. He has organized several initiatives and among them is the communal cleaning (Umuganda) at Bwiza cell in Kacyiru.
What is more, Mutua who’s also the country director of PKF an auditing firm, urges those who are professionals to act like mentors especially to local students who have just finished their higher learning educations as there are few local companies to nature their skills.
“On my part as an accountant, I intend to connect some Rwandans who are practicing accounting for instance to some of the Nairobi’s renowned auditing firms and those in Rwanda for them to gain experience ,” he said.
Contributing to the society is not only forced task to Mutua but also a passion. So far he has constructed a school in his village situated in Kenya’s Mwala district close to Machakos town, in the same community he took part in the construction of a water well which connects more than 200 households.
Moreover, he wants to replicate the same in Rwanda by constructing houses to orphans as well as sponsor students who were unable to continue with their education.
“I can’t work alone, that’s why I’m encouraging my fellow Kenyans to contribute to the great progress of this country Rwanda,” he said.
