NASA's presidential candidate gets a major boost as he receives donations from USA

Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential candidate Raila Odinga’s bid for the Presidency has been boosted after he received donations from his supporters in America.


Following Mr Odinga’s appeal for donations on Friday, Reports indicate that NASA supporters in the diaspora have managed to pool over Sh1.8 million to the kitty.At least 156 opposition supporters, mostly in the United States of America (USA), had raised $18,060 (Sh1,858,374) by Sunday afternoon against the Sh5 million target.It is still unclear the total amount that has been collected from other regions.
On Friday, the former Prime Minister appealed to well-wishers to financially support his campaign ahead of the October 17th election.Speaking at Okoa Kenya Headquarters in Lavington, he asked NASA supporters to make contributions of as little as 10 shillings to aid his campaign.
He equated supporting his Presidential campaign to buying a ticket to Canaan.The M-Pesa pay bill number he gave for those who wish to support his campaigns was 991444.The appeal, however, elicited a lot of reactions with the Jubilee brigade led by Majority Leader in the National Assembly Aden Duale warning Kenyans against sending money to the pay bill number.“It is a con. Don’t trust them.I was shocked to see a principal (Raila) seeking donation instead of votes andco-principal (Kalonzo Musyoka) holding a banner.“They should stop press conferences and fundraising,”he remarked.
Duale further alleged that Odinga joined the presidential race to make money and fleece young members of parliament.“Kenyans must ignore these fraudsters. This is gambling and even cartels that were funding them have left,”he added.
