During an interview on Spice FM, Wanjigi cast doubt on the money and its source.

He argued that it might be more about showbiz than actual financial commitment.

Wanjigi questioned whether the money was part of the national budget or if it came from Ruto’s personal account.

The politician further expressed doubts about the financial transparency behind the rewards.
