Kaluma slams Maraga for creating website to fund 2027 campaigns
Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has criticised former Chief Justice David Maraga for launching a website to fundraise for his 2027 political campaign.
In a statement on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, he accused Maraga of exploiting taxpayers while enjoying a luxurious retirement package.

He has also accused the former Chief Justice of attempting to manipulate citizens under the guise of public service.
“A person taking home Ksh5 million in retirement benefits each month, complete with new vehicles every four years and vehicle maintenance & fuel allowance, with medical cover, and tens of employees, all paid for by the taxpayer, is back to the same taxpayer seeking to con them off their savings while aware he can’t be elected even an MCA!”

Maraga officially launched his presidential campaign fundraising platform dubbed ’27 Campaign Platform’ on Friday, July 18, 2025.
27 Campaign Platform
The platform allows Kenyans to contribute as little as Ksh50 to support what he termed a people-driven movement to “Reset, Restore, and Rebuild Kenya.”
“I will appeal to Kenyans to contribute to the campaigns. I’ll put in very little money, around Ksh1 million or Ksh2 million. I don’t have much money,” Maraga said during an interview with a local TV station.
The digital platform enables well-wishers to contribute by entering their name, phone number, email address, and the amount of their donation. Supporters may also leave an optional message.
Maraga explained that the contributions will go towards grassroots mobilisation, campaign events and town halls, digital outreach, and building a national network of volunteers and supporters.
He emphasised that every cent will be accounted for and any excess funds will be redirected to a public cause, with the campaign headquarters based in Westlands, Nairobi.
Expressing confidence in the power of ordinary Kenyans, particularly the youth and underrepresented communities, Maraga said the time had come for a leadership rooted in integrity, competence, and justice.
“With the suffering Kenyans have gone through, I’m sure we’ll get Ksh50,100 from individuals. I’m hoping we’ll get excess, and whatever is left, we will give it to a public cause,” he stated.
Maraga reiterated his vision of forming a government of professionals and experts, saying only qualified and accountable individuals would serve under his administration.
“Every public servant must earn their place and deliver results. We will not run a government of rewards and cronies,” he said.
