Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua says his friends from the United States and other countries have offered to bankroll his 2022 presidential campaigns.
Speaking during an interview with a local FM station on Monday morning, Mutua was challenged to explain how he would raise the Sh18 billion he earlier claimed he will spend for the campaign in 2022.
Mutua said he has already saved Sh3 billion for the campaign, while his friends will donate the rest.
“I have the Sh3 billion and you see, I have been abroad for a long time. I schooled abroad. I have friends in the United Arabs Emirates, US, Japan and Hong Kong who are ready to fund my campaigns. The source of money should not worry you, join me to change Kenya,” he said.
“I have so many friends who have contributed to that course. They have told me that Kenya needs visionary and young leader like me. So, I have friends who are committed to see me take that job. They are already contributing,” the governor said in an interview.
In a past interview with Citizen TV, the Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader said he would be spending Sh18 billion to challenge other bigwigs like Deputy President William Ruto for the country’s top seat in 2022.
“It opens the way and I have my own cash. I can compete on the same level as others. It is worth it because I’m not doing it just for me but for the people of Kenya.”
“That’s the kind of money needed. It is worth it if you want to move this country to a new age. You have to do it. A time comes when you say that you are doing this for the people. People have seen that I am a man of my word. My presidential bid is not a way to get a government position in future,” he said on Monday.

Mutua you need to tell us…
Mutua you need to tell us who your friends are and what they want in return kwasababu hakuna cha Bure. Do you want to sell Machakos for two cents like Uhunye has sold Kenya to the Chinese? Mutua you are also under investigation for corruption. How did you get the 3 billion in the first place? At one time you sounded promising but you have began to sound like one of them frauds.
If I that kind of money and…
If I that kind of money and such generous friends I would work on funding a major hospital project in my hometown instead of wasting it on stupid campaign. Set an example which other people can follow.
Well @Godhavemercy that’s yr…
Well @Godhavemercy that’s yr dream of setting a hospital but others have their dreams too like mutua.Personally spending that cash for politics is Bullcrap or total nonsense if u ask me.If u really think ur the best leader nowadays u can use media or internet to sell yr agendas n u will probably spend 500m ksh but this idiots r so desperate to b leaders n if u see such pple spending such money just know it’s not cash they have worked for by sweat.Majority of this cash is stollen cash.Pple who have really worked innocently hard work fir their cash don’t misuse their cash like that.

Mutua has a good flame like dartbond ya KULENGA SHABAHA.Mutua raked shs 500m.to coin bangolala Kenyans slogan of NAJIVUNIA KUWA MKENYA-which to me is a measurement of your foolishness.Kujivunia when kina Uhuru,Kibaki,Raila,Moi etc are stealing everything and mortgaging our country to China.Imbu fikilia educated Kenyans who are very happy with Mutua is payukaring 1m.-1km road construction.Uko na akili kweli kama hujui mingi ya hizo road construction machines move less at than 10kmh?Why don’t the Chinese/Western constructors,the most learnt engineers use the same technology?
