Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has poured cold water on former Chief Justice David Maraga's move to launch a campaign website inviting Kenyans to donate funds and volunteer for his 2027 presidential bid.
While dismissing the website on Saturday, July 19, Cherargei criticised Maraga's approach of fundraising from Kenyans, noting that it was not how politics in Kenya worked.
In a statement released on his X page, Cherargei referenced his earlier advice to his Busia counterpart, Okiya Omtatah, who has also expressed interest in vying for the country's top seat, regarding the minimum amount needed to bankroll a presidential campaign. "Just like I advised my brother Senator Omtatah that to run an effective Presidential campaign, you need at least seven billion shillings," Cherargei stated.
