Comedian Sammy Kioko’s bid for the Mavoko parliamentary seat has received a major financial and logistical boost from his fellow comedian Tom Daktari, who gifted him Ksh 210,000 and a Prado to support his 2027 campaign.
Tom said his contribution amount carries a personal meaning, taking him back to the early days of his friendship with Kioko.
“And I have started the donations with 210,000 and the main reason why I chose that specific amount is that I remember way back the first amount of money sent me for fare was Ksh 210,” Tom said.
The vehicle is expected to serve as a vital campaign tool, enabling Kioko to traverse Mavoko’s constituency and connect with voters at the grassroots.
The contribution came as the Kioko unveiled the event into a fundraising occasion, with Kioko’s friends, fellow entertainers and associates making contributions towards his political ambitions.
Among the contributors were Terence Creative, who gave Ksh 500,000, Motilink James, who contributed Ksh 350,000, Kifalme Entertainment, who contributed Ksh 100,000, adding the contributions to the funds for Kioko’s campaign.
Sammy Kioko thanked them for their kind contributions towards his campaign for the 2027 general election.
“I stand before you with a lot of humility, gratitude and big sense of responsibility. I have listened, I have walked with you and I am ready to take the next step, as I officially declare my candidature for the Member of Parliament, Mavoko Constituency,” Sammy said.
