George Wajackoyah, a presidential candidate for the Roots Party, has made the astonishing claim that he was paid 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 general public.
In a viral video, Prof. Wajackoya 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 omitted, however, to say who or when the offer was made or by whom.
“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. 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,” Wajackoya stated.
