# “Siwapi Pesa, Mkitake Munipigie Kura Ama Muwache”: Mount Kenya Aspirant Tells Residents

A Mount Kenya politician seeking a Member of County Assembly (MCA) seat has sparked
debate after declaring that he will not distribute money to residents ahead of the
2027 General Election.

The aspirant, who is seeking the seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket,
reportedly challenged voters to support him based on their own judgment rather than
expecting financial handouts.

In remarks captured in a video circulating online, the politician said he had spent
more than KSh10 million during the 2022 General Election but failed to secure victory.

He appeared frustrated by the experience, arguing that residents who received his
money did not reward him with votes during the election.

According to the aspirant, the experience had taught him a lesson, prompting him
to change his approach as he prepares for another attempt at elective office.

“Siwapi pesa, mkitake munipigie kura ama muwache,” he declared, telling residents
that they were free to vote for him or choose another candidate.

The remarks have triggered mixed reactions online, with the video drawing attention
to the growing debate over campaign spending and the expectations some voters place
on politicians during election periods.

Some observers may view the aspirant’s position as an attempt to encourage issue-
based politics, while others may question whether his message will resonate with
residents accustomed to receiving financial assistance from candidates during campaigns.

The controversy also highlights the financial pressures candidates face when seeking
elective positions, particularly at the grassroots level, where aspirants often 
interact directly with voters.

For the MCA aspirant, the experience of spending millions of shillings without winning
the election appears to have influenced his decision to avoid similar expenditure
in the next electoral contest.

His declaration comes as politicians across the country begin positioning themselves
for the 2027 General Election, with campaigns expected to focus on development promises,
political alliances and voter mobilisation.

However, it remains unclear how residents in his constituency have responded to 
his remarks beyond the reactions generated by the circulating video.

The aspirant’s identity and the specific county where he intends to contest were
not provided in the information accompanying the video.

Whether his decision to reject campaign handouts will become a defining feature 
of his campaign remains to be seen as the 2027 elections approach.

Ultimately, the contest will give voters an opportunity to assess candidates based
on their priorities, promises and plans for addressing local challenges.
