Former Chief Justice David Maraga has officially launched his presidential campaign fundraising platform ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The Maraga '27 Campaign Platform, unveiled Friday, allows Kenyans to contribute as little as Sh50 to support what he termed a people-driven movement to "Reset, Restore, and Rebuild Kenya."
The retired CJ had said this week said he will heavily rely on ordinary Kenyans to fund his bid.
“I will appeal to Kenyans to contribute to the campaigns. I’ll put in very little money, around Sh1 million or Sh2 million. I don’t have much money,” Maraga said during an interview with Citizen TV.
The digital platform allows well-wishers to contribute by entering their name, phone number, email address, and donation amount.
Supporters may also leave an optional message.
Maraga explained that the contributions will go towards grassroots mobilisation, campaign events and town halls, digital outreach, and building a national network of volunteers and supporters.
He emphasised that every cent will be accounted for and any excess funds will be redirected to a public cause.
The campaign headquarters are based in Westlands, Nairobi.
Expressing confidence in the power of ordinary Kenyans, particularly the youth and underrepresented communities, Maraga said the time had come for a leadership rooted in integrity, competence, and justice.
"With the suffering Kenyans have gone through, I'm sure we'll get Sh50, 100 from individuals. I'm hoping we'll get excess, and whatever is left, we will give it to a public cause,” he stated.
Maraga reiterated his vision of forming a government of professionals and experts, saying only qualified and accountable individuals would serve under his administration.
"Every public servant must earn their place and deliver results. We will not run a government of rewards and cronies," he said.
Maraga becomes one of the earliest high-profile figures to formally begin his campaign for the presidency, anchoring his message on ethical leadership and citizen empowerment.
