With the
NairobiTunavyoitaka theme as his campaign slogan, Igathe’s unique campaign style gave Kenyans a reason to giggle and laugh while interacting with low income residents include women selling vegetables and boda boda riders.
He was spotted washing cars, working as a waiter at Quiver Lounge, washing toilets and anchoring news on NTV.
“I was doing this to present to Kenyans that here comes a man who is a servant. A politician is simply a servant, and a city is about service,” he said in a previous interview.
