Despite the fact that more than 50% of the Kamba population is poor, there is an endless list of politicians driving posh cars, living in multi-million houses and having a lot of money in their bank accounts.
Determining the richest Kamba politician is not easy. Some politicians do not want to share what they consider private information. Here are some of the Kamba leaders we believe should feature among the wealthiest.
Johnson Muthama
It is claimed that Johnson Muthama was already wealthy even before he opted to join the political arena. He made his wealth through selling stones, farming, real estate and other businesses.
Mike Sonko Mbuvi
Our list will be incomplete if we do not include the Nairobi senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko. The outspoken and flamboyant politician made his fortune in life in the early 2000’s. He sold land in Mombasa and Nairobi. The senator spends money like he plucks from a tree in his compound.
Kalonzo Musyoka
There are some people who think that the former vice president is a poor man, which is not the case. The Cord principal owns a chopper estimated at around Sh800. Although he is cool and does not like sharing about his wealth, Kalonzo is filthy rich.
Alfred Mutua
Winding up our list of the richest Kamba politicians, the former government spokesman and governor of Machakos owns massive wealth. He has accumulated wealth both a government employee and politician.
