Former Chief Justice David Maraga has made a public appeal to Kenyans to financially support his presidential campaign. He urged citizens to step forward and help fund what he described as a people-driven bid to transform the country.
Maraga said his campaign relies on ordinary Kenyans rather than powerful financiers or political elites. He emphasized that his vision for leadership can only succeed if citizens actively contribute to its realization.
In his appeal, he reminded Kenyans that many had initially expressed willingness to support his journey. He noted with concern that this promise has not yet translated into tangible financial backing.
The former Chief Justice framed his request as a call for collective responsibility in shaping the nation’s future. He insisted that rebuilding and restoring Kenya requires both moral and financial investment from the public.
Maraga highlighted integrity and accountability as the core values of his campaign. He said these principles set him apart and justify why Kenyans should trust and support his leadership.
He also pointed out that running a competitive presidential campaign demands significant resources. Without adequate funding, he warned, it becomes difficult to effectively reach voters and share his agenda.
Maraga maintained that his candidacy represents a break from traditional politics dominated by wealthy sponsors. He argued that public contributions would ensure independence and accountability to the people.
The appeal comes at a time when political campaigns are increasingly expensive. Candidates are turning to grassroots fundraising to bridge the financial gap and remain competitive.
Maraga urged Kenyans not to remain passive observers in the political process. He encouraged them to take ownership of his campaign by contributing whatever they can afford.
He concluded by expressing hope that citizens will respond positively to his call. According to him, collective support will not only finance his campaign but also symbolize a shared commitment to a better Kenya.
