George Luchiri Wajackoyah is a legal practitioner based in Nairobi, Kenya, and an independent political campaigner. Wajackoyah was also a presidential candidate in Kenya's 2022 general election held on 9 August 2022. He ran under the Roots Party of Kenya, which supports the legalisation of bhang in Kenya.

He first announced he wanted to run for the presidency in the 2012 general election but withdrew from the race without explanation.

Wajackoya is also the source of the 'Shot in State House' theory in respect of the murder of Dr Robert Ouko, Kenya's minister of foreign affairs who was shot dead near his farmhouse in Koru, Western Kenya, on 13 February 1990.

His date of birth is given variously as 24 October 1959, Uganda at some time in 1960 or 1961 at St Mary's Hospital in Jinja. He belongs to the Luhya community. His father was Tito Olilo Jakoya, and his mother was Melenia Makokha. He was abandoned at 16 years following his parents' divorce and became a street boy in Nairobi, before a well-wisher came to his rescue and paid his secondary school fees.
