Raila Odinga is richer than Uhuru Kenyatta: Baba’s new net worth

President Uhuru Kenyatta was thought to be the richest politician in Kenya. He has appeared on Forbes list of richest African presidents. But apparently Raila is richer than him. In the debate of wealth, it surfaces that Raila Odinga is often perceived to be financially superior to Uhuru. Claims suggest Raila Odinga as wealthier than Uhuru.

In 2011, Forbes estimated Uhuru’s net worth at $500 million or Kes 51 billion. Most of his wealth came from property. The President owns stakes in Kenya’s largest dairy company Brookside Dairies and media company Mediamax. He also owns Heritage Hotels, Commercial Bank of Africa, and hundreds of thousands of hectares of prime land in Kenya.

Robert Alai, former Raila Odinga ally who now working for Uhuru Kenyatta, has revealed that the government did an audit. They discovered Raila’s personal wealth was in excess of Kes 3 trillion or $29 billion. The idea that Raila Odinga is richer than Uhuru has sparked considerable discussion about the financial statuses of these leaders.

“After recent government audit, Raila’s personal wealth is found to be in excess of Ksh 3Trillion. Does it reflect in the life of his constituents? In 2007 alone, one country (Germany) gave him Ksh 110billion. He never invested the amount in his campaigns,” Robert Alai wrote.

Even though Alai probably inflated the figure, there is speck of truth in his claim. This is because a multi-agency meeting chaired by the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua was held at Harambee House last Thursday. During the meeting, discussions inevitably touched on whether Raila Odinga is richer than Uhuru. The focus was on monitoring the interactions between political parties and foreign donors, particularly concerning Nasa.

The Sunday Nation reports that the committee comprises of Mr Kinyua, officials from the Treasury, the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and representatives from the Kenya Revenue Authority are also involved. Among the topics covered was whether Raila Odinga is truly richer than Uhuru, as many claim. This reflects ongoing public intrigue around the topic.

Is Raila really a dollar billionaire or Alai is just dragging his name through the mud? The question of whether Raila Odinga is richer than Uhuru continues to intrigue many in Kenya, sparking curiosity and debate.
