Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke has revealed that Opposition leader Raila Odinga is broke and cannot finance Presidential campaigns.
Speaking to KTN News in Eldoret, Waluke revealed that Mr Odinga pulled out of the Presidential race because he ran out of funds.
"Raila didn't have money to continue with campaigns. He pulled out of the race because he lacked campaign money," he stated.

The legislator dismissed claims that the playing field was uneven adding that Mr Odinga was just scared and lacked resources to compete with Jubilee.
"There is nothing like an uneven playing field, they don't have money. Raila is broke, there is nothing else," he stated.

Earlier this week, the MP hit headlines after he announced that he would personally protect residents going to vote on Thursday.
"I am not only an MP but also a trained soldier and I will deal with those who will try to block anyone from exercising their constitutional rights in my constituency," he stated.
He further noted that no one had the power to stop an election other than the IEBC and dared those attempting to do so to try in his constituency and "see fire".
"Voting will go on in Sirisia as planned and I dare challenge those who are planning to block people from exercising their right to try it, they will know why a guinea fowl has no hair on its head," he warned.
He asked his electorates to wake up early in the morning and vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
