Kindiki Confirms Increase in His Wealth by Ksh 150M Since He Became A Minister

Kindiki Confirms Increase in His Wealth by Ksh 150M Since He Became A Minister: President William Ruto’s nominee for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Prof. Kithure Kindiki’s net worth, has risen by Ksh 150 million in the 21 months he has been in government.

According to Kindiki, his net worth has risen from Ksh544 million in 2022 to Ksh694 million at the current vetting.

Kindiki has stood his ground saying his wealth increase is attributable to his legal practice and not to any government dealings.

Kindiki, who appeared before the committee on Thursday, August 1, defended his financial ascent by attributing it largely to his legal firm’s performance.

“The increase in my net worth comes primarily from my law practice. I have not engaged in any business with the government or applied for any tenders directly or indirectly,” he declared.

The nominee explained that a substantial portion of the rise in his net worth followed the settlement of a long-standing debt by a client of his legal firm, a  development that contributed to the substantial leap in his wealth.
