The oldest son to the late former Cooperatives minister Joe Nyaga has
launched his presidential bid in this August election as an
independent candidate.
Jeremiah John Mwaniki Nyaga, 44,said the main reason to vie was to
accomplish what the father started.
He said that after burying the father in 2020, he had waited to see a
strong leader emerge from Mt.Kenya to accomplish his father’s dream.
He said that is main agenda would be to fight corruption saying he has
never worked with the government or been involved in any corrupt
deals.
He added that Kenyans are tired of corrupt leaders and yearned for a
leader untainted by past misdeeds.
“I have worked hard for over 20 years paying my taxes but I have
gotten tired and felt I have to put to a stop all the madness of
corruption. Kenyans want leaders who will protect their resources not
to loot.That is my main aim and that was also my fathers aim-to
protect public resources”said Nyagah.
He said that if Kenyans can elect leaders without the money
factor-Kenya would be able to cleanse itself off corruption.
“If we use our heads and not stomach’s, then Kenya’s will not complain
of high cost of living or even corruption – but the same voter votes
who has given out huge sums of money.” he added.
He said despite Mt Kenya having leaders like Speaker Justin Muturi and
Mwangi Wa Iria, who he had no no issues with, there was need for him
to come out and tell Kenyans what his father wanted.

He also added that Mt.Kenya leaders were confused and should stop
glorifying other leaders – betraying their own adding that those
singing “Hawapangwingiwi” should know by now that they have already
sold their birthright.
“Hawa wamesha pangwa (they are already in other peoples plans),” said Nyagah.
He said that he would be forming a third force that represents a large
number of Kenyans who do not even know who to vote for.
He added that the coalitions that are being formed will be realized
during the run-off in the presidential race.
“I may say I have formed a third force, this is where majority of
Kenyans belong-they are confused on who to vote for as president come
August,” Nyaga added.
