Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30241, member: 2262"] David Maraga plans to run for president of Kenya in 2027. He shared this news after church in Kisii on Sunday. The former Chief Justice said he wants the top job because he can make real changes from that position. He clearly stated that voters must decide if he deserves their support. Maraga firmly denied claims that powerful people secretly back his campaign. Maraga discussed the upcoming election process. He hopes honest people will serve on the election board to ensure fair voting. Senator Richard Onyonka disagreed with Maraga's candidacy. Onyonka leads many Kisii leaders who prefer Fred Matiangi as their presidential pick to challenge President William Ruto. These leaders want to create a new political party for their community. Young Kenyans known as Gen Z recently asked Maraga to run for president. He addressed this at Rongo University on March 27. Maraga said he talks with different groups about possibly running. He promised to announce his final choice when ready. The former judge believes people seeking elected jobs should clearly know how they can help others through that position. Maraga feels confident about leading the country. He pointed out that he had already run the judicial branch of government successfully. He sees corruption as the biggest problem facing Kenya today. Maraga called it a budgeted institutional issue that keeps the country from solving many problems. He believes Kenya lacks enough money for important services because corruption wastes resources that should help normal citizens. [/QUOTE]
