Johnson Sakaja, a candidate for governor of Nairobi County, dropped a bombshell this morning by disclosing the allegedly large sum of money he was offered to quit his bid.
If what Sakaja says is true, a man was brought from State House to his house, and during their talk, Sakaja was offered one billion Kenyan Shillings to resign.
He claims that he was instructed to tell people that he had gotten unwell and would therefore be skipping the next elections.
This intriguing turn of events occurs as the well-known governor anticipates a court verdict that will clarify whether or not his name will appear on the ballot.
Before this, Sakaja had claimed that the deepstate was behind the effort to derail his run for governor.
Earlier, Sakaja blamed President Uhuru kenyatta for all of his problems in a video tape.
His degree has been the center of some very severe criticism, and there are currently inquiries into this.
