According to Nyatigo, most of the aspirants across the country won’t be able to raise the amount needed even as they look forward to serving the electorate.

He called on the secretariat to ensure they review the charges or risk losing many aspirants.

Speaking in Sironga on Thursday when he handed over the newly built boda-boda sheds, he said most of the aspirants have not been able to return their nomination papers to Orange House in Nairobi despite picking them more than two weeks ago.

“I have been a great investor outside the country more so in the US, but I feel the nomination fees is abnormal. What about the normal resident who is looking for a seat on an ODM ticket? They need to change or else they will lose many aspirants” he added.

Recently ODM said those seeking ODM's ticket to run for president will pay a nomination fee of Sh1 million, governors will part with Sh500,000, while senators and MPs will pay Sh250,000 while ward representatives will pay Sh25,000.
