Retired Marketer joins presidential race

Little known Jacob Kioko, a retired marketer, has joined the growing list of presidential hopefuls ahead of the 2012 general elections.
Mr. Kioko, 62, declared his intentions in Kajiado yesterday and said he would run on a platform of eliminating “societal economic imbalance.” He said he has developed an economic concept that will transform Kenya into a developed country in less than 10 years.
The presidential hopeful thinks Kenyans will elect him purely on account of having come up with an economic concept, which he said will solve all the country’s problems.
“Running for presidency is something that I have harbored for the last 25 years. In the process, I have come up with an idea which is of great benefit to humanity but it can only be implemented with the highest political goodwill and that can only happen if I am the president,” Mr. Kioko said
He however declined to divulge details of his economic concept only saying that it will devolve economic empowerment to the masses and enhance corporate profitability.
“It is a sure and stable source of raising funds for financing the exploitation of the economic potential of the counties,” he said.
Mr. Kioko intends to run on a Concerted Effort Party ticket, which he is in the process of registering. He is currently the principal and proprietor of a primary school in Kitengela.
