Caleb Amisi dismisses claims of powerful forces funding his political campaigns

People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM) leader and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has dismissed claims that his growing political activities are being financed by powerful individuals, saying he has personally funded his political journey for years.

Speaking during an interview on Monday, Amisi said his political activities had been self-funded long before he entered Parliament.

Amisi, who launched the PRM in August as a new political vehicle ahead of the 2027 General Election, said he had the financial capacity to meet the costs associated with his campaigns and the running of the party.

“I fund all my campaigns and party activities. I have been funding my political activities ever since,” Amisi said.

His remarks came after Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale questioned the resources behind Amisi’s highly visible political mobilisation, including his reported use of helicopters and other transport during political engagements.

Khalwale said the scale of the operations had raised questions among political observers about where the money was coming from.

“I hear people calling him a mole, it is because he is inviting it. All of a sudden, where has he got the wealth he owns? To have low loaders trucks, branded choppers, to do all these rallies, it cost money,” Khalwale said.

“Those of us who are in that practice know it costs a lot of money. He invited intelligent people to question if he be amole.”

Amisi, however, maintained that his use of helicopters was not a recent development occasioned by his parliamentary position.

“I hear people saying I am using a helicopter. I started using a chopper before I became an MP,” he said.

The PRM leader further argued that political parties require significant financial resources to establish structures, organise meetings and communicate their message across the country.
