National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga's campaign has been bolstered by opposition supporters in the diaspora who raised 1.8 million in hours for the endeavor and still contributing.
So far, 156 NASA supporters living in the United States have pooled together $18,060 (Sh1,858,374) by Sunday against the Sh5 million they have set as target on the online crowdfunding site GodFundMe.
On Friday, Opposition chief Raila Odinga appealed for well wishers in and outside the country to help fund his campaigns by making contributions through Mpesa paybill and a bank account.
Raila said that one can contribute as low as Sh10 through Pay Bill number 991444. He said that contributing towards the cause amounted to "one buying themselves a ticket to Canaan".
President Uhuru Jubilee party, however, dismissed the fundraising as a well orchestrated gimmick to con Kenyans.
"He’s just fleecing his supporters. There are people who use the elections to make money. They don’t go to elections to win," National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale told journalists.
"Kenyans must ignore these fraudsters. They are masquerading themselves as liberators, so we are telling Kenyans to be very very careful."
Raila will face President Uhuru in a repeat election scheduled for October 17th, after the Supreme Court nullified the August 8th contest.

You better wake up and smell the roses .kikuyus .go send those who are non kiku.you are thieves murderers creedy manipulative listen now historical justic e.no matter where you you think God send you manna from heaven alone .Rudi central if you want to live.Change a MUST A MUST
NASA supporters in the US, keep throwing your hard earned cash in the drain. How do not contribute to the "Lord of Poverty"? He cannot win. But either way, you are doing good to the Jubilee economy since your money will be spent in Kenya. It will help the GDP.
MWAKILISHI headline is wrong.Not all Kenyans in diaspora but graduated fools who represent themselves. I can never fund any campaign for thugs be it jambazi Uhuru or muuaji Raila.How can a normal person raise money for a devil/cannibal who has looted Kenya mupaka mafi ya watoto?A muuaji who even kills his child as demanded by his gods so as to win the presidency?
Only a mad person can contribute to enable muuaji Raila kill/sacrifice his remaining children(as he recently attempted to sacrifice Rosemary) and wife to his gods.
I just contributed $1000.00 and i am sane? So what's good? Freedom. My money my choice. I contributed for Obama and Hillary as well, didn't hear you complain then.
Sto lying and bragging, you are just another luo used to pride and lies. Your rent is not even $ 1000
Not everyone is at your level financially and cognitively. Many Kenyan's are just as blessed as i am. We worked hard for it. tafuta chako wisely.
Notmad is an Al Shabaab financier who funds the deadly militia gang through it's COMMANDER IN CHIEF-muuaji Raila.And did you know that muuaji Raila and Chembukati are only interested in your ID #s for early voting?Any registered voter (including MP Kuria) who contributed has already voted for Wazimu Mukuu RAO.
The hatred of the Luo people by the Gikuyu goes back to Kenyatta days. This man planted the seed for the kind of national hatred toward the Luo and can been seen throughout the nation through the voting pattern. Lately, the Kalenjin people have joined this hatred club.
The first Luo casualty was Arwings Kodhek, followed by then assassinated Joseph Thompson Mboya, followed by the arrest and the imprisonment of Odinga (Kenyatta regime) and Raila - Toroitich's regime!. Then during Toroitich administration, Robert Ouko was killed. Yet, the most academically educated ethnic group are the Luo people. This hatred of the Luo people must stop immediately.
F.Y.I. I am not a Luo or related to them.
Wewe Imara wapi if you don't know that murderer Raila is NOT another name for LUO tribe?Cannibal Raila is an individual murderer which has nothing to do with Luos.After all,you are not a Luo community spokesman.Nenda ukalambe lambe mukudu wa Raila peke yako wachana na wengine.
You must really hate yourself or perhaps mental illness. You are the most hateful KIKUYU i know. Your comments and word choice reflects your twisted mind with so much hatred. I would hate to be around people like you, so much darkness in your soul. This is far much more than politics.
I mara, I dont see the relevance of your mentioning that Luos are the most academically educated ethnic group...To me I am more impressed if these academicians can invent products,and services.I guess what Iam asking is,how many inventions have come out of these a cademic lot?
I have never heard of such stupidity. This guy's probably don't even snd money to their families, aren't helping with drought, kids have cancer, and they end up donating to a billionare. They say man is smarter but I have found squirrels that are smarter than this kind of people. BTW you do not have to be Kikuyu to criticize stupidity
@ Wakenya, It's THEIR money and they are free to do whatever with it! What's your real problem? Libtards like you have zero understanding of anything that require, ' mind your own business'. No comprehension or intelligence required here, it's shear common sense that perhaps is not common for everyone after all.
Bona mlikataa shilingi moja kutoka kwangu.Haiya. Ngaaatho!
"Catchy" headline lakini sometimes separate the wheat from chaff-use quantifiers like "some"," a group of "
For not all Kenyans in diaspora are part of this charade.
@ fake Omera whose real name is NJOROGE
What about murderer Ruto and Uhuru? Have you forgotten that these two murderers used our treasury to block the hearings at the ICC in Hague?
You are allergic to the truth Omera/Njuguna. But the truth will not change that Ruto and Uhuru were responsible for over 1,000 deaths 2007 - 2008. Let alone those who were maimed and others raped. What about the loss of property! The two people have terrorized the people of Kenya so much that, they are afraid of implicating or talking about them in the Kenya holocaust!
Listen to Martin Ngatia on the you tube. He calls Ruto the butcher of Eldoret and Uhuru the butcher of Naivasha/ Limuru.
It's also a fact that as long as dictator Toroitich is still alive, Raila will never spend one night in our state house as the president of Kenya. He (Toroitich) gave the people of Kenya an alcoholic and marijuana smoker Uhuru. Shame on you Toroitich.
Majambazi Uhuru na Ruto won their cases in Hague not the corrupt Nairobi's Magala courts,the HQs of corruption in the world.It could have been better if you confirmed that muuaji Raila paid shs 1 billion to Wako & Tobiko to escape justice in Nairobi and another shs 500m to so-called human rights groups and Waki to implicate Uhuru and Ruto.
@Guest1 how much have you send to saidia baba kwenda Canaan?
1.8M shillings is a drop in ocean but a waste on a loser too.
MWAKILISHI-
You should be screening messages. I am a Diasporan and I haven't contributed to NASA. We should not be used to show the world that we are supporting NASA whatsoever.
The same mang'ombe who were ordered not to go to work the other day are now being forced to contribute to enable their evil god,muuaji Raila build another mausoleum for the two close relatives he intends to sacrifice to get the presidency.
Mwskilishi, you should have control over the comments section and not allow such hatred spewed in here, it is absurd.
Can a hooker donate her punyanz to the principles or their body guards ???
Diasporans can't even vote.
History has taught us that you cannot buy a politician but you can only RENT one.
Now that the NASWA morons and conmen led by Ojinga are broke, Kenyans must make a few conclusions.
a) For Ojinga to sell tickets to a fake Canaan is to engage in nothing but POLITICAL CONMANSHIP.To us peasants who cannot feed their children to send him campaign money is merciless and downright cruel and this is why Ojinga is nothing but the LORD OF POVERTY. This lad has a hole in his soul.
b) If Ojinga is asking for campaign money from peasants it means he cannot pay the RENTED politicians like Isaac Rutto and Peter Munya and this is why they are abandoning him one by one and the principle is simple - NO FINANCES,NO ROMANCE.
People tend to gravitate towards a WINNER and not a GAMBLER like the lad Ojinga and this explains why politicians are abandoning Ojinga because it doesn't go wrong, It starts wrong.
Political conmen and fraudsters
