Ex-CJ Maraga begins 3-day public engagements in Kwale
Retired Chief Justice David Maraga has embarked on a three-day public engagement drive in Kwale county as he seeks to consolidate support for his 2027 presidential bid.
The busy schedule comes days after his arrival in the country from Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania where he observed the formal reading of charges by the Prosecution against leader of main opposition party, CHADEMA, Tundu Lissu.
A statement dated May 20 by the Maraga ’27 Presidential Campaign Secretariat says the public engagements are part of his consultations on resetting Kenya to the rule of law, rebuilding the economy and restoring dignity and humanity.
“During this visit, he will hold meetings in Matuga and Lunga Lunga constituencies on May 23; Kinango constituency on May 24 and Msambweni and Matuga constituencies on May 25,” the secretariat said.
It added that the ex-CJ will also hold a press engagement during the visit.
On March 30, Maraga publicly declared his intention to run for the presidency in 2027 and emphasised his readiness to initiate change.
He dismissed claims that he is a government project and reaffirmed his candidacy as one committed to integrity and the rule of law.
Maraga’s campaign has garnered support from various quarters, including Gen Z activists and a section of political and religious leaders from Kisii county, citing his clean track record.
The former CJ has consistently identified corruption as Kenya’s foremost challenge.
