Netizens are concerned about the monies they contributed to the Nasa campaign kitty.

Some demanded a refund from contributions to the paybill number, arguing that since the Nasa coalition has withdrawn its candidature from the October 26 repeat presidential election, the purpose of their contribution has lost meaning.

Others poked humor into the funds drive saying the coalition should not have asked for campaign money in the first case.

While others suggested that the appeal for funds should have been made after the coalition got an assurance from the electoral commission on proposed reforms to its personnel.

Nasa said the decision to withdraw was arrived at after it became apparent that its “irreducible minimums” would not be considered by IEBC.

Here are some of the tweets from Kenyans seeking a refund from the Nasa campaign kitty.

Nasa die-hard's who donated their salaries on Paybill for Raila Odinga. I know you're in a fix but Nairobi Business Community is willing to fund you back. We all want peace.
