Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary (CS) nominee Simon Chelugui said on Saturday that his wealth grew by Sh197 million between 2018 and 2022 as a result of the appreciation in value of his assets.

Kathiani MP Robert Mbui, a member of the National Assembly's Committee on Appointments, tasked Chelugui to explain why his net worth rose from Sh796 million that he declared on February 13, 2018 to the Sh993 million that he disclosed on Saturday, October 22, 2022.
