NASA principals Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka were the first to launch such a strategy to get funds from their supporters.
The question of accountability of the funds raised in such endeavors remains critical with many Kenyans.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Elias Mutuma, who is Dr. Aukot’s lawyer, assured their supporters that the Party will publish a clear campaign documentation on how the money is spent.
“Dr. Aukot has started campaigning, he will need funds to facilitate his campaigns all over the country. The party will publish a comprehensive documentation on how every single cent will be spent. He will be very accountable because he has a good agenda of trust from his supporters,” Mr Mutuma explained.
Dr. Aukot will be facing off with President Uhuru Kenyatta and four other candidates after the NASA presidential candidate pulled out of the race.
