Interior Cabinet Secretary nominee Kithure Kindiki says he’s worth Sh544 million.

Prof Kindiki, who appeared before the  National Assembly Committee on Appointments for vetting at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi today, Tuesday, October 18, 2022, said his wealth comes from investments in land and buildings, bank deposits, investments in shares and deposits in five different saccos.

He said land and buildings account for Sh165million.

“I am also a business person running a number of businesses, SMEs and I'm also a consultant for local and international organisations," he told the National Assembly Committee on Appointments.

During the vetting, Kindiki, failed to provide his National Identification Card blaming this on a "communication barrier by the committee."

He did, however, say that he had sent somebody for the document and that it would be delivered to the committee before the vetting was over. 

“I forgot my ID but I have sent for it and it is on the way," he said.

While presenting his resume and extensive career in the legal profession, Kindiki noted that he was the right fit for the Interior Cabinet slot and addressed key issues facing the public and security sectors.
