I am Worth KSH. 4 Billion: MUSALIA MUDAVADI

Mr. Mudavadi was the first Cabinet Secretary nominee to appear before the 15-member National Assembly Committee to be grilled for the position of Prime Cabinet Secretary.

The Amani leader was nominated by President William Ruto as one of his CSs following the agreement that the ANC and UDA signed before the August election.

“If I take my investments in shares in some companies and also the properties that I own, I will put my net worth at Sh4 billion,” Mudavadi said.

He stated that his sources of income are rental, dividends where he has the shares and interests, and other expenses that come from his farm.

He was responding to the question from the National assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula.

If Mr. Mudavadi, who served as Deputy Prime Minister during the Coalition Government of former President Mwai Kibaki and Mr. Raila Odinga, sails through, will be the senior most official in government after the President, and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Also, the 1990s Goldenberg saga returned to haunt him.

In his defense, the CS nominee said that he was just new in office as Treasury Minister when the issue was reported.
