Roots Party Presidential candidate, George Wajackoyah, noted that his first 100 days would be chaotic due to the country's dire situation.

Speaking to KTN News on Sunday, July 10, the legal scholar opined that should Kenyans elect him in the upcoming August 9 poll, he would be inheriting a government that is burdened by a lot of issues. 

He added that he would use the opportunity to stabilise the country's economy before implementing his own policies.

 "I will refer you to the first 100 days. They will be days of disaster. I will be inheriting a government that is bankrupt, debt-ridden and burdened by a lot of issues.

"Let me enter that episode then we shall see what we will do next. Let's roll our sleeves and start working, but it will be a painful period of 100 days because of the current situation that we are in," Prof Wajackoyah noted. 

The Roots party leader highlighted economic dictatorship as an effective method to shape Kenyans' lives in the future. 

"The human rights violation I will not adopt, but economic dictatorship. You have to put discipline in people the same way the late John Michuki did and probably Simeon Nyachae."

"Economic dictatorship helps, and I can tell Kenyans that I will be a dictator as far as the economy of this country is concerned."

Wajackoyah, however, affirmed that his focus is to ensure a win in the August 9 general election before implementing his policies. 

The professor has been on a charm offensive in various parts of the country, rallying the public to back his rather controversial manifesto that has ruffled feathers.

The professor has pledged to legalise commercial use of bhang, export hyena testicles, sale of dog meat, and rearing of snakes to offset Kenya's current debt.

Other policies in his manifesto include closing the Standard Gauge Railway, shifting the capital city from Nairobi to Isiolo, deporting idle foreigners, creating eight states,suspending parts of the constitution and hanging corrupt individuals.
