Miller Lee Chatham, the wife of Roots Party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah, has amazed Kenyans with her American accent after addressing reporters in his village in Matungu, Kakamega county. Wajackoyah expressed his disappointment in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) after the KIEMS kit failed.
During an address to the media where he complained about being asked to wait to vote after the KIEMS kits failed, Wajackoyah called on her to help his case. He was later allowed to vote. “My wife here was telling me… please, let Kenyans hear your voice for the first time,” he said as she smiled looking a tad rattled.
“I wasn’t really expecting this,” she said. “But it’s very disappointing for the machines to not be working on the day that’s most important to the lives of all Kenyans concerned. However, no weapon formed against us the people of God, the people of Kenya shall prosper. That’s the ground that we stand on, so, you all remain vigilant, remain cool, remain calm and we’ll see this thing to the end, thank you.”
He wondered whether it was a ploy to steal his votes before inviting his wife to address the press. “Let Kenyans hear your voice for the first time,” he said. Speaking to the nation for the first time, she echoed Wajackoyah’s sentiments on the IEBC while reaffirming their belief in God. Lee also admitted that her hubby’s invite caught her unawares.
The former detective said his wife stays in the US while the children are based in the UK. The scholar added that he was working on getting his family Kenyan citizenship.
