Robert Riaga Ajwang, known as ‘Billionaire’ Money Bior, intensified his campaign for the Kasipul MP seat, showcasing a lavish lifestyle that has captivated voters and sparked debate. The flamboyant businessman, competing against seven candidates to replace incumbent Charles Ong’ondo Were, shared glimpses of his opulent daily routine on social media, blending wealth displays with grassroots outreach.
Netizens including highlight Bior’s distribution of umbrellas and his luxurious home, raising questions about his wealth’s source and its role in the Kasipul election race.
Money Bior, a self-proclaimed billionaire, has made headlines with his high-profile campaign tactics in Kasipul, a constituency in Homa Bay County.
A YouTube feature by Shiracko Media showcased his sprawling residence, complete with luxury cars and designer decor, positioning him as a larger-than-life figure.
His campaign focuses on economic empowerment, promising job creation and infrastructure development, yet his undisclosed wealth source has drawn scrutiny.
Critics note that Bior’s fortune remains a mystery, with speculation ranging from real estate to undisclosed business ventures. His competitors, including seasoned politicians, face a challenge in matching his financial clout.
The Kasipul MP race, set for 2027, is heating up, with Bior’s lavish campaign setting him apart. His strategy includes community giveaways, such as umbrellas and branded merchandise, aimed at winning over voters in a region where poverty rates hover at 44%.
Bior’s promise to fund youth projects and improve roads resonates with some, but others question his motives. Others labeled him a “show-off,” arguing his wealth could intimidate rather than inspire.
The campaign’s spectacle, including motorcades and high-energy rallies, contrasts with the low-key approaches of rivals like former councillor John Okore.
Bior’s background adds intrigue to his candidacy. Unlike established billionaires like Aliko Dangote, whose $23.9 billion fortune stems from manufacturing, Bior’s wealth lacks clear documentation, fueling speculation.
Billionaires.Africa notes Africa’s billionaire class grew to 22 in 2025, with Nigeria’s Femi Otedola, worth $1.5 billion, among those tied to tangible industries like energy.
Bior, however, has not clarified his financial origins, with some suggesting ties to regional trade or investments. His campaign’s focus on a lavish lifestyle showcased in videos of him boarding private helicopters has drawn comparisons to populist tactics, raising concerns about vote-buying in a constituency where 60% of voters are youth.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has emphasized strict campaign finance regulations, capping spending to curb undue influence.
Bior’s displays of wealth, while legal, test these boundaries, with analysts warning of potential voter coercion. Supporters, however, see his lavish campaign as a sign of capability, arguing it demonstrates his ability to deliver.
A rally in Oyugis town saw hundreds chanting his name, drawn by promises of scholarships and market upgrades. Yet, his competitors leverage local ties, with candidates like Okore emphasizing community roots over financial spectacle.
As the Kasipul MP race intensifies, Money Bior’s lavish campaign continues to polarize voters. His wealth, while a draw for some, raises questions about transparency and sustainability.
The constituency’s youth, eager for change, are split between his promises and doubts about his intentions. Bior’s ability to translate his lavish lifestyle into votes will depend on addressing these concerns while maintaining momentum.
