Chiloba hard-pressed to explain wealth, high work turnover

Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chief executive Ezra Chiloba was yesterday hard pressed to defend his Sh800 million net worth and the controversial exits from previous workstations.

Appearing before the National Assembly Defense and International Relations Committee for vetting following his appointment as the Consul General to Los Angeles consul, had to explain his wealth starting his day one in formal employment. The MPs put him to task on how he amassed the multi-millions at the age of 46.

He was asked to explain why his tenure at the electoral body and the Communication Authority of Kenya were riddled in scandals.

“There are some doubts about you, from what you have presented it shows you have never worked in the private sector meaning you have been in the public sector all your life yet you have an enormous Sh800 million in wealth. Can you explain?” posed Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hasan.

The committee members also raised concerns over Chiloba’s resume, which depicted him as a restless individual who could not settle in a place.
