Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30382, member: 2262"] David Maraga plans to run for president in Kenya come 2027. He made this clear after church on Sunday in Kisii when he told people he wanted the top job because he could make changes from there. He claims he stands on his merits rather than backing from powerful interests. The former Chief Justice stated that voters will decide if they believe him or think someone is pulling his strings behind the scenes. Maraga hopes honest people end up on the election board to ensure fair voting. This differs from what other Kisii leaders want, as Senator Richard Onyonka declared Fred Matiangi should represent their area against President William Ruto. These leaders also plan to create a fresh political party with Matiangi as their main candidate who will talk with the current President and other candidates. Earlier, Maraga said he felt happy when young Gen Z voters asked him to seek the presidency. He talked about this at Rongo University in Migori county on March 27, saying he consulted different groups before making his choice public. He believes anyone seeking elected office must clearly know what they want to accomplish and serve according to what the position requires. He pointed to his past leadership experience heading the Judiciary branch of government, saying he could easily lead another branch. Maraga claimed he knows what troubles Kenyans face every day. He identified widespread corruption as the biggest issue facing Kenya, especially planned corruption within institutions that nobody fixes effectively. This problem, he explained, prevents Kenya from gathering enough money to address important national challenges. [/QUOTE]
