Activist Boniface Mulinge Muteti Found in Machakos After Four Days Missing

Human rights activist Boniface Mulinge Muteti has been found in the Lukenya area of Machakos County after going missing for four days, according to fellow activist Hussein Khalid.

Khalid said Muteti was reportedly dumped around 3 a.m. on Friday, September 25, before walking to a petrol station, where a good Samaritan helped him contact his brother.

The activist was later taken to Sanel Hospital in Mlolongo for treatment. Khalid described him as distressed, weak and injured, as family members, friends and fellow activists visited him at the facility. #Machakos

The controversial and drama-ridden delay in the passing of the Machakos County Appropriations Bill, 2026 has raised pertinent questions as to whether the stand-off has to do with ‘rigid’ oversight by MCAs, claims of budgeted corruption or vested political interests.

For about two months now, residents of Machakos County have struggled to access basic services offered by the devolved government following a fierce and protracted war pitting the executive led by Governor Wavinya Ndeti and the County Assembly led by Speaker Ann Kiusya. #Machakos

The push and pull in Machakos County budget politics pitting the county assembly against the executive is far from over after Governor Wavinya Ndeti declined to assent to the Machakos County Budget Appropriations Bill, 2026. #Machakos

When Alfred Mutua became Governor of Machakos, he showed us what county funds can do when they are treated as development capital.

He used Machakos County funds to build the 33-km Makutano Ma Mwala–Kithimani road in just 3 months, using 11 contractors working simultaneously. The road connected Garissa Road to the Machakos Kitui Road and was intended to open up the entire corridor economically.

The reported cost was about KSh650 million, against a KeNHA estimate of KSh1.6 billion. It was also described at the time as the first tarmac road constructed by a county government.

That is the real promise of devolution.

County money is not merely for salaries, offices and recurrent expenditure. It can build roads, open up markets, attract investment and transform places that were previously forgotten. #Machakos #Mutua
