Roots Party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah has lambasted journalists who rushed to interview him at the Bomas of Kenya on Monday.

This happened when he went to join his competitors and other politicians at the venue ahead of the announcement of the presidential results, which was scheduled for 3 pm.

The controversial politician lashed out at the media accusing a section of them of telling lies about his family.

"You have something wrong with my home?" Wajackoyah posed.

"You went and told people lies about my family. Then you are running here, you want to take photos and videos of me."
