By Martin Oduor, October 22, 2022
Cabinet Secretary (CS) nominee for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Salim Mvurya has disclosed that he is worth Ksh120 million.
Speaking when she faced the National Assembly Committee on appointments on Saturday, October 22, 2022, Mvurya said that most of her wealth comes from land and houses he owns.
“My financial net worth my chairman Ksh120 million in land, houses, bank accounts,” Mvurya said.
“No vehicles?” Speaker Moses Wetangula interjected.
“Vehicles also,” Mvurya added.
Least wealthy CS nominee
Mvurya’s Ksh120 million net worth ranks him among the least wealthy Cabinet nominees vetted so far. The nominee for the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi is the richest by far with a Ksh4 billion net worth.
CS nominee for Public Service, Gender and Affirmative Action Aisha Jumwa is currently the ‘poorest’ Cabinet nominee with a Ksh100 million net worth.
Jumwa’s Ksh100 net worth, Mvurya’s Ksh120 million and Environment and Forestry nominee Roselinda Soipan Tuya’s Ksh156 million net worth make the three CS nominees the least wealthy in Ruto’s Cabinet.
