Wajackoyah Claims He Was Offered Sh200 million to Drop Presidential Bid

Roots Party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah claims that he was offered a whopping Sh200 million to shelve his bid for the presidency in the August 9th elections.

The 62-year-old said that the money was offered by people who wanted him to step down from the presidential race over fears that his candidature was gaining popularity with the masses.

“Recently they came to my place and said that this Wajackoya, why don’t we just pay him Sh200 million so that he can drop his bid,” he said at the Paris lounge in Roysambu as quoted by Nation.

He added: “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.”

Wajackoyah vowed to ensure that his competitors Deputy President William Ruto and Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga are sent home, saying that they are part of the problems the country is currently experiencing.

“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 percent,” 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.

If elected president, Wajackoyah has promised to introduce radical reforms including the legalization of marijuana to support its processing for medical use, and the upscaling of snake farming to produce antivenin.

He argues that marijuana and snake farming can generate sufficient revenues to help offset the national debt which currently stands at Sh8.4 trillion.
