NAIROBI, Kenya — Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has said the estimated Sh100 million spent during the Ol Kalou campaign was not sourced from government funds.
Speaking on Monday, July 20, Ruku said the money was raised by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, alongside contributions from other well-wishers who supported the campaign.
“The money that was spent, which I estimate was probably Sh100 million, was not government money. It was UDA party money, along with contributions from other well-wishers who wanted to support the campaign,” he said.
Ruku maintained that the government does not have access to public funds for use in political campaigns.
“The government does not have access to public funds for campaign purposes,” he added.
