The former Chief Justice expressed confidence that Kenyans will contribute to his campaign kitty.
“We will require a substantial amount of money. We are going to appeal to Kenyans to contribute to our campaign, and it is going to succeed. Kenyans will themselves fund this election,” said Maraga.
He revealed that he plans to contribute between Ksh1 million and Ksh2 million to his campaign.
“I will put in very little money, Ksh1 million or Ksh2 million, I don't have much money," he said.
Further, Maraga said Kenyans can contribute as low as Ksh50 to his campaign kitty and that the funds will be largely used for grassroots mobilization, town hall meetings, digital outreach and communication, and to build a nationwide network of supporters.
