National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has responded to Kenyans asking for a refund of their contributions towards his presidential campaign kitty for the repeat election on paybill number 991444.
Moments after he announced he had bowed out of the race for the repeat election ordered by the Supreme Court, a section of Kenyans took to the social media asking the opposition coalition to refund their contributions, since he was no longer campaigning for his bid, having withdrawn their candidature.
However, in an interview with Radio Jambo at his Karen home on Wednesday morning, Raila sought to explain to the ‘well wishers’ why they will not be getting a refund of the contributions, even after he bolted out from the presidential race.
”The money was being used as it came in. We are not a bank to keep the money. We asked Kenyans of goodwill to contribute and they did and we spent it in our activities,” he said.
The former Prime Minister withdrew his candidature on Tuesday citing refusal by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to prepare the fresh election as ordered by the Supreme Court while overturning August 8th election.
Refund?…
Refund?
There no refunds when you contribute to political parties.
Kwani people don’t know?
It is wrong when you claim…
It is wrong when you claim the money raised will be for “campaign” then you don’t even campaign and instead pull out of the election. This is purely conmanship and they are right to demand their money back. In some countries especially where this con keeps hip hopping that is criminal.
I thought he campaigned and…
I thought he campaigned and spend that money on round 1. He is not in round 2….do you expect the money to not have been used at all?

The article says very clearly “repeat elections”, that’s what the topic is about. Be sure to read the article before commenting.

Bure kabisa everyone should have seen the amounts of money were being deposited in personal accounts. Raila you did no campaign and it would help if you justified what activities and expenses with a receipt.. heavy lunches and personal gains is not activities.. at least you are in Karen some of us are in dandora and kayole expected to pay hospital bills with you stupid call for demonstrations.

Conman and his con ways at your disposal. One man is focused on bringing the whole country down unless he gets his way. What a dirty game. I feel sorry for all those people who have been raising reelection money as well as holding demostration for Raila. The country is much bigger than one person’s ego. Life must continue, peacefully. Don’t go out these to destroy any properties or get killed for any politicians regardless of their party affiliation. The politicians are in their mansions or at the airport on their way to foreign lands where they have stashed millions of your money. Think twice before getting involved in any rioting. Who benefit? Peace.
