Wajackoyah Claims He Received Sh200 Million Offer To Drop Presidential Bid

George Wajackoyah, a presidential candidate for the Roots Party, has alleged that he was offered Sh200 million to abandon his campaign.

Prof Wajackoyah claimed that the funds were provided by those who wanted to keep him out of the running in August because they feared that, with less than a month to the elections, his candidacy was garnering support from the public.

In a video that has since gone viral, Prof. Wajackoyah was heard telling revellers at the Paris lounge in Roysambu that individuals making the offer had felt intimidated by his campaign for the presidency.

He, however, remained cagey about who or when the offer was made.

“Recently they came to my place and said that this Wajackoyah, why don’t we just pay him Sh200 million so that he can drop his bid.

“I looked at them and told them that I am the most learned man in Africa and I cannot be compromised. I have worked in higher places like United Kingdom and I cannot betray the trust of the people,” Prof Wajackoyah said. 

In the video, the leader of the Roots Party also threatened to mobilize his supporters to vote out Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto in the August elections.

He accused the two of contributing to the crisis the nation is currently experiencing, where the cost of living has increased and many young people remain unemployed after finishing school.

He said that his administration will, among other things, work to make society more egalitarian and make amends for past wrongs, especially historical land injustices.

“I want to tell Raila and Ruto that I am Kenyan just like them. They should all go home with the president in August. They are the ones responsible for the mess we are currently witnessing in the country. They should not despise others and treat them as lesser beings. I want to tell them that I will win this vote by 65 per cent,” he said. 

“I am an instrument being used by God. That is why people are printing t-shirts with my name and images,” he added.

The lawyer has also pledged to abolish the body boda industry should he clinch the presidency.

Speaking in Busia on Saturday, the presidential hopeful announced that his administration will prioritize boda boda riders’ economic empowerment by making sure they had jobs in marijuana plantations.

He said the riders will be allowed to cultivate and export bhang to boost their incomes.

“They will be at the forefront cultivating and exporting bhang to generate millions of money for the country,” he said.

“We shall not need boda bodas on our roads because there will be nobody to carry since most Kenyans will be millionaires with money we will generate through bhang exportation.”
