Wanjingi in Disbelief and Embarrassment As a Man Pinpoint Several Biological Children he Neglects

Presidential hopeful Jimi Wanjigi was at the centre of a humorous and unexpected exchange during a meeting with grassroots leaders in Tana River .

In a rare, unscripted moment that delighted the crowd, the normally serious politician was left momentarily stunned after a supporter revealed he had more children than him.

The light-hearted interaction has since gone viral, offering a different side to the presidential candidate.

Jimi Wanjigi, while passionately explaining his proposed "tax justice" policy, paused his speech to engage directly with a man in the audience.

The brief exchange quickly turned personal when Wanjigi asked the supporter how many children he had.

To the crowd’s amusement, the man proudly declared he had three.

This prompted a roar of laughter from Wanjigi, who threw his hands up in mock defeat and exclaimed, "'Umenishinda hapa!' (You have defeated me here!)." 

He then confessed to the cheering crowd, "You know, I only have two," before warmly congratulating the man for fulfilling "the word of God."

The Safina Party leader then revealed the context for his personal question, linking it directly to his radical tax plan.

He explained that his proposed policy was designed to reward families for having more children, which he said was in line with the biblical command to "go forth and multiply."

Wanjigi stated that under his government, having two children is merely "replacement," but having a third, fourth, or fifth would earn a family progressive tax cuts. 

He has previously promised that a family with a sixth child would become completely tax-free for life.

Wanjigi’s light-hearted moment came during a much more serious speech in which he launched a scathing attack on President William Ruto.

He accused the President of speaking with the "devil's tongue" for claiming the cost of living was going down. 

Wanjigi also repeated his controversial promise to stop paying Kenya's national debts in order to fund a drastic cut in VAT from 16% down to just 5%.

The businessman-turned-politician's unscripted interaction with the Tana River father provided a brief break from the fiery political rhetoric.
