Roots Party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah has spoken out after questions were raised about his citizenship.
Former presidential aspirant Peter Gichira wrote to the British High Commission in Nairobi seeking clarification over the exact status of Wajackoyah’s nationality.
Through his lawyer Gachie Mwanza, Gichira noted that Wajackoyah has openly indicated that he had at one time expressed interest in a parliamentary seat in the UK, and wants to know whether he is eligible to vie now that he has been cleared by IEBC to run for the presidency in the August 9th elections.
“It has come to the attention of our client through various sources that the said candidate at one time was a prospective candidate and vied for a seat for a member of parliament in the United Kingdom specifically Tottenham before he was disqualified through various media addresses,” reads the letter to the British embassy.
He argues that one can only seek to be elected in the UK if he or she is a British citizen, a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, a citizen of a commonwealth country who does not require leave to enter or remain in the UK or has indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
“We do write on behalf of our client to get clear clarification and confirmation on whether the above named candidate is still a registered British Citizen, and if so, has he ever renounced such citizenship rights thus making him eligible to vie for the tip seat in the republic of Kenya,” adds the letter.
Speaking to NTV on Wednesday, Wajackoyah insisted that he only has Kenyan citizenship and did not need one to be able to live in the UK.
“I have never changed my citizenship. They just ought to go to the internet and google. They are wasting their time to go to the British Embassy. Nobody is deporting me because I am a Kenyan, born in Kenya with very high epistemology in terms of academia,” said Wajackoyah.
He added: “I have been outside the country, living indefinitely in a country doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be a citizen. These circuses need to read before they write they are wasting their time.”
Wajackoyah is a fraud.
1. He…
Wajackoyah is a fraud.
1. He keeps insisting certificate courses are degrees.
2. He has no PhD
Teaching in a university with a masters degree does not make someone a professor.
3. He’s a poacher.
4. He’s misleading Kenyan youth about drugs.
Seems like you know this guy…
Seems like you know this guy very much. How come you are aware of his certificates, did you attend high school with him or any other lower class school. Just wondering
@guest was the headmaster of…
@guest was the headmaster of the fraud school Wajackoya attended. He is fraud too since he presided over the snake growing farm which taught Wajackoya the values of snake spit. @guest is the one who eats all the dog meat.
Those of us that have lived…
Those of us that have lived in the greater Washington DC area know this guy well enough to know that he is a fraud
Let us start sellling snakes…
Let us start sellling snakes and Bhangi as soon as possible to pay the Kenya’s ballooning debt. Wanja Konya is on the right track and he will benefit Kenyans. The polls show he has now overtaken DP ruto.
Where can you sell snakes in…
Where can you sell snakes in mass production? Wanja Konya is living in lalaland.
You can sell snakes, dogs,…
You can sell snakes, dogs, fisi and bhang to chins, South Korea, England, etc. Those are the markets which need it in large quantities. Next….
Misleading Kenyan youth?…
Misleading Kenyan youth? Just what lie has he told about drugs to the young? Your a church fanatic.
The youth need to be misled…
The youth need to be misled so they can wake up and get to work. We have a youth class of dummies and fools which wants everything for free. Wajackoya should promise to nyonga those lazy youths. He can use some of the youth to replace the corrupt MPs that he will kill for stealing.
Is Ruto not misleading the youth with the stupid free wheelbarrows?
Wa Jakoyo isn’t only high…
Wa Jakoyo isn’t only high all the time, but also a fraud!
This guy is the real deal…
This guy is the real deal only problem is that he will not have enough MP’s to pass those legislations. He is a Commander without an army.
He does not need MPs to pass…
He does not need MPs to pass any bill. He will do it alone because he will kill all the corrupt MPs in the first 100 days of his administration. This is good governance where one knowledgeable leader makes decisions without too much red tape.
I didn’t see any record set…
I didn’t see any record set straight here. The ganja man cannot have lived in foreign land as political asylee for all these years, ( half his life) going to school and getting employment without changing status. Not saying it’s not impossible but he cannot tell us he was working under the table, foreign expatriate other being a citizen.
Wajackoya seems to have very…
Wajackoya seems to have very healthy skin from eating snakes and dogs. He really knows what he is talking about.
He’s a conman.
He’s a conman.
I like this guy, he thinks…
I like this guy, he thinks outside the box and that’s what the country needs. His ideas are wild but it’s not like he will force them on the population.
