Royal Media Services Chairman Samuel Kamau (SK) Macharia has expressed confidence that Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party presidential candidate Raila Odinga will bag the  August election and succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Macharia said that on Friday during a meeting that Raila and his running mate Martha Karua graced.

The Media mogul said even though he was not conspicuous in the Azimio coalition rallies, he still burns the midnight oil to ensure Raila becomes president.

"We are confident that you’re going to win the elections. Some of us here you don't see us in rallies, but we work overnight in various ways to make sure that Raila becomes president," Macharia said.

SK cautioned Kenyans against electing the Deputy President William Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza Alliance into office, lest they want the wanton corruption to continue.

Macharia said Kenya Kwanza cannot be compared to the Azimio coalition.

"The two teams you can not compare them. If you want us to continue being corrupt, then you can go to the other team (Kenya Kwanza Alliance)," he said.

Macharia said corruption was the failure of the government to take action and challenged Raila to take action if he becomes president to show his attitude towards corruption within his administration.

"Corruption is purely failure of the government to take action. Is all going to be the impression you are going to give," Macharia said.
