“Fellow Kenyans, I need you to help me reset, rebuild and restore Kenya. I have chosen to run a campaign that is funded by you, ordinary Kenyans,” he said.
Maraga said a people-funded campaign would belong to citizens and reflect their interests.
“If my campaign is funded by donations from you, the everyday Kenyan, then it becomes our campaign. And I will be accountable to you,” he said.
“I will be accountable to you, the everyday Kenyan. You can donate any amount. Simply log in to http://davidmaraga.com. Or go to Mpesa Paybill: 4164137 Account Number: 4164137.”
He encouraged supporters to donate any amount through his official campaign platform or via mobile money, noting that even small contributions would collectively sustain the campaign.
As of January 29, the former CJ revealed that his presidential campaign has so far raised Sh7.7 million as he intensifies early preparations for the 2027 general election.
