‘My net worth is about Ksh.700 M,' Muturi says as he reveals his sources of income

While appearing before a Committee of Appointments on Monday in Parliament buildings, Muturi said that he has amounted the wealth from his farming business and occasional rewards he gets from consultancy services.

"I have been a very modest public servant and my net worth is currently estimated at just about Ksh.700 million," he said.

"Currently from my activities as a farmer and through consultancies that I do from time to time. I get occasional rewards. Otherwise I am now a pensioner."

Muturi further added that he anticipates the salary awarded to him if he is appointed into the Attorney General position as another source of his income.

"I expect whatever I get from the public coffers should be governed by the Deputy President and the designated state officers act of 2015," he added.
