Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Amolo Odinga has finally revealed his net worth. Speaking during an interview with NTV on Tuesday, Raila said that he is worth Sh 2 billion.
He asked Kenyans to ignore the narrative that he has made his wealth through dubious means, adding that the resources he owns are too many as many people would think.
The African Union Special envoy noted that he is not corrupt and he generated his wealth through hard work and commitment. He explained that he has served in different capacities in government during which he used the earnings from the same to invest in different sectors of the economy.
"I am not rich. I am only worth about Ksh. 2 billion shillings," he said.
The opposition leader revealed that the net worth is not in terms of cash but also includes the shares he owns in companies across the country.
"My wealth comes from properties, I also have lots of shares from companies. I am saying not in cash, this is in terms of shares basically" he added.
The leader of the opposition noted that he does not support the idea of people acquiring wealth through dubious means, adding that corruption is unacceptable as far as leadership is concerned.
