A gubernatorial seat aspirant has claimed that he is campaigning in helicopters in order to save money.
Simon Chelugui who is is vying for the Baringo gubernatorial seat has stated that he is campaigning using his own money contrary to reports indicating that he is funded by Deputy President William Ruto.
"I use a chopper to save on time and attend many functions in several areas within a day," Chelugui is quoted by the Star.
Chelugui who is a member of the Betting and Licensing Board further stated that he receives his money from friends in order to hire the chopper.
He added that campaigning in a chopper enables him to campaign in different places within a day.
Chelugui affirmed that he will not stop using the chopper throughout his campaign.
"When Governor Cheboi fuels up to 50 county government vehicles using tax payers’ money to tour projects around the county, he is not mentioned in the media; why then do people point at me when I am using my own sweat to hire a chopper?" he asked.
