The former Cabinet Secretary emphasized the importance of solid governance structures that support both domestic and foreign investment.
He contended that economic progress is contingent on trust, stability, and adherence to the rule of law.
Matiang’i stated that he aims to fund his presidential campaign mostly through contributions from supporters and a broad network of volunteers.
During an interview with Citizen TV, Matiang’i stated that his campaign for the 2027 General Election will be financially and logistically supported by regular Kenyans who believe in his leadership and vision for the country.
“I am going to finance my campaign through contributions I get from well-wishers,” Matiang’i said.
Matiang’i is one of the key figures in the United Opposition coalition vying to succeed President William Ruto in the 2027 elections.
He worked as the Interior Cabinet Secretary for former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He is running on a Jubilee Party ticket after the Uhuru Kenyatta-led party officially proclaimed him its presidential candidate on October 30.
The former CS acknowledged that he does not possess the vast personal wealth often associated with presidential contenders in Kenya.
However, the former CS insists that he was comfortable being upfront about his financial standing.

He added that his campaign is being sustained by contributions from ordinary supporters, including teachers, volunteers and professionals who are willing to give what they can to support his bid.
“I am benefiting from small people, fellow teachers, volunteers who are making contributions,” Matiang’i said.
According to him, volunteerism will form the backbone of his campaign machinery, significantly reducing the financial burden usually associated with nationwide campaigns.
“Two-thirds of people in my campaign are volunteers; they are not earning a salary,” he asserted.
