"I have grown up and known what lack means. I, therefore, made a pledge to my people that what I will earn will go directly to them to help meet the needs of the [underprivileged such as orphans]," he said during an interview on Kiss FM on Thursday.
"People in the semi-urban and slum areas lack basic amenities such as water. We will help address and have monthly cleaning exercises to avoid diseases like cholera," he added.
The flamboyant youngster is set to battle for the seat against Jubilee's Francis Mureithi, independent candidates Philip Bosire, Francis Masinde, Nyamasi Lukas, George Butto, and Boniface Nyagaka.
