George Wajackoyah finally responds to Justina Wamae’s allegations of being Azimio mole
Why I exposed George Wajackoyah as Azimio mole – Justina Wamae reveals
Roots Party presidential running mate, Justina Wamae, has defended her move to expose her party leader, George Luchiri Wajackoyah, as a supporter of Azimio la Umoja’s Raila Odinga.
Speaking on Thursday, August 4, on KTN News, Wamae detailed that she was compelled to make that statement to affirm her position in the party and as Wajackoyah’s running mate.
She maintained that her public statement proved that top principals can differ in ideologies without throwing tantrums at each other.

“What I did yesterday was simply underpinning my boss’s view. My boss had given feedback, there was a party statement and we have been accused of being a project previously.
“So I represent a constituent of women and youth, and they were telling me if you keep quiet, you come out as a flower girl. So I had to put out my voice, and my boss was aware of it,”
she explained.
Wamae ruled out joining either Azimio or Kenya Kwanza, insisting that her candidature together with Wajackoyah will go all the way to the ballot.
“As of now, my boss and I are not in any conflict and I respect the direction Roots Party is taking to ensure that Kenyans see politics as a different thing of not being sycophants, you can raise your voice,”
Wamae remarked.
According to Wamae, her statement raised the party’s stake, which she stated was nosediving in recent opinion polls.
Wamae had accused her boss of going against Roots Party and supporting the former Prime Minister without consulting her.
She maintained that she would not support Azimio if the party takes that stand.

“It is true Wajackoyah is supporting Azimio but we have not discussed that as a party.
“If we need to take a stand on who to support, I will support the contrary. We have been branded a project twice but we have not agreed as a party,”
she stated.
Roots Party’s Justina Wamae goes head-on Mutahi Ngunyi in heated confrontation
Roots Party presidential running mate, Justina Wamae, and political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi engaged in a heated exchange following her claims that her boss, George Luchiri Wajackoyah, was indirectly campaigning for Raila Odinga and the Azimio La Umoja.
Wamae clapped back at Ngunyi who poked holes at her statement where she allegedly confirmed allegations that Wajackoyah was an Azimio mole.
The outspoken running mate could, however, not hold back after the pro-Azimio analyst suggested that she made the claims to appease Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

“From where I sit, you cannot purport to speak for me or Roots Party. Eat Azimio’s money in silence, once you have your fill, keep mum (Ukishiba funika tumbo),”
Wamae told off Ngunyi.
Wamae – in a bare knuckle attack on the self proclaimed political scientist – asked Ngunyi to use his media company, the Fifth Estate, to break down to the public the meaning of a mole.
The political pundit questioned the feasibility of Wajackoyah being Raila’s mole in the Roots Party – which he termed as a junior party compared to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya.
“So what if Wajakoyah is a Baba mole? Is he for Baba at the Roots Party, which he owns? Do not insult his intelligence. This Justina Wamae is not making sense. Or is she making an argument to be moled by UDA?”
Ngunyi posed.
Wamae renounced herself from any political project ahead of the August 9 polls and stood by her affirmation that no leader should be imposed on the Kenyan electorate.
“I cannot say that youth and women are not pageboys and flower girls respectively then cow when needed to be independent minded,”
she reiterated.

The storm in the Roots Party tea cup began after a video of Wajackoyah allegedly endorsing the former Prime Minister at a recreation joint went viral.
Through spokesperson Wilson Muirani, Wajackoyah dismissed the claims that he was backing Raila’s presidential bid.
“We would like to categorically state that we have a presidential candidate who is on the ballot and will win this election. We have not and will not endorse any other candidate,”
Muirani noted.
However, while being interviewed by Citizen TV, Wamae confirmed the allegations but noted that she and her party boss had not discussed the decision at length.
