Maraga Issues Fresh Crucial Strategy For People-Led Campaign
Chief Justice Emeritus David Maraga has announced that his technical staff is working on upgrading his digital campaign platform, which may result in system outage.
Justice Maraga has announced that he will run for President in the next general election.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 23, the former Chief Justice thanked the thousands who had already contributed to the campaign.
He noted that its rapid and unprecedented growth required a system upgrade.
“Our technical team continues to strengthen our digital platform’s capacity and security. This will include the public ticker on all digital fundraising platforms,” read part of the statement.
“We ask that you please be patient with us as we work to stabilise the system. As those in the digital technology space will understand, this may occasionally require brief maintenance downtime.”
We wish to express our appreciation to the thousands of Kenyans who have so far volunteered their resources, time and effort to the campaign.

The technological team is also working on a way to collect and organise public feedback on major themes in Maraga’s manifesto.
Maraga recently established his fundraising website, declaring that his campaign would be funded by well-meaning Kenyans, giving them a stake in the leadership they want to see.
In a media interview last week, he claimed that he would only contribute Ksh1 million or Ksh2 million from his own funds.

“Those in the diaspora are putting in dollars, which tells you Kenyans want change.”
Maraga also restated his intention to reform Kenya’s electoral system so that people without a lot of money can run for politics.
