KRG has claimed that he received very good offers, as high as Kshs10 million, to join the anti-government protests.
In an interview with a local digital media(SPM), KRG, who did not shy from boasting about his huge influence, said that he is loyal and would never influence others to engage in things that would bring bloodshed.
According to him, the Kshs10 million was just a drop in the ocean, and would slowly make the amount while engaging in his genuine business.
“So many people approached me so that I can go against the government. Wengine walisema watanipa pesa. You can not give me money. Other influencers were paid so that they can push this thing kwa throat ya wananchi. I told them I am a loyalist. You can not buy me with any amount of money. They were willing to pay me up to 10 million. Hio ni pesa ya kununua chips na mayai. Huwezikuja kunitisha na 10 million nifanye mtu mwingine aende amwage damu,” he said.
According to him, he did go against the government, because of his patience and believe in giving second chances.
“I am a very patient person, I give human beings chances, very many chances. You can wrong me today, I will consider why you have wronged me, I will look whether there are circumstances that I can change tomorrow and then I will give you room for improvement. We don’t have any other country, we only have Kenya, the moment you start quarrelling the president we have decided we don’t want him to rule us any more, that means we want to burn our country or fight and remove him in power. Do we even have a candidate? No. Do we have a budget? No. If paying debts has become a burden, where will get a budget to elect another person.,” he said.
Aside from that, KRG said he is a businessman and engaging in protests would not only affect his investiments, but also the depend that depend on him for their daily bread.
“There are families that are relying on the businesses I ran. If I ask all these people not to go to work so that we participate in protests, at the end of the day they will demand from me money to feed their families,” he said adding that the president is easily accessible and that people didn’t need to go to the streets.
