Published on August 30, 2021, presidential hopeful and businessman Jimmy Wanjigi has criticized the current crop of politicians eyeing the presidency in next year's general election.
Speaking to Linus Kaikai on Sunday night during a Live Prime time interview from his palatial home in Muthaiga, Nairobi, Wanjigi expressed his sentiments, saying that it is do or die for Kalonzo, Raila, and Mudavadi in the 2022 General Election.
Wanjigi cited ODM leader Raila Odinga, whom he said has played his role in shaping Kenya's politics but has few solutions for Kenya's current problems.
He urged the Kenyan electorate to take its role as that of David from the Bible, and slay 'Goliath' the giant of poor governance, in next year's election.
Wanjigi said Raila, Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetang'ula of Ford Kenya, and Amani's Musalia Mudavadi have been in political leadership for decades and are yet to solve Kenya's challenges.
He expressed great confidence that he would win next year's polls if the election is fairly conducted, adding that it is time for fresh leaders.
Months ago, Wanjigi joined the crowded presidential race to run against Deputy President William Ruto, Raila, Mudavadi, Kalonzo, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, and Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi among other aspirants.
ODM has accused businessman Wanjigi of jumping the gun by launching campaigns, with Chairman John Mbadi dismissing meetings the tycoon has been holding with people he said are delegates of the Raila Odinga-led party.
