Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has given a rough estimate of the wealth he declared in 2022, saying it stood at about Sh50 million at the time.
Kalonzo said the figure could be worth between Sh55 million and Sh60 million today after adjusting for inflation, but stressed that he was only giving an estimate and would need to check the records he filed with Parliament.
The former Vice President made the disclosure during a television interview on Monday, August 10, 2026, as he responded to questions about his wealth ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Asked how much he was worth in 2022, Kalonzo said: “I think about 50 million Kenyan shillings.”
When asked to adjust the figure for inflation, he said his current wealth could be in the region of Sh55 million to Sh60 million.
“So we adjust for inflation. We say right now maybe 55, 60. Maybe,” he said.
Kalonzo, however, cautioned against treating the figure as his definitive current net worth, saying he did not have the declaration documents with him during the interview.
“When I say approximate, I mean, I’m just talking about approximate. I can look at what I filed last time and adjust for inflation,” he said.
The Wiper leader also rejected suggestions that the estimate could indicate undisclosed or hidden wealth.
“Hidden? I don’t have hidden wealth, for goodness sake,” Kalonzo said.
He further said he did not have a foreign bank account either in his name or that of his associates.
“No foreign account anywhere in my name or in any of my associates’ names,” he said.
Kalonzo said his financial position should also be viewed against the fact that he has been out of public office for about 15 years and is currently not earning a salary.
“I’m not earning any salary. I’m living on my pension, by the way,” he said.
He promised to check the wealth declaration he filed with Parliament and provide the exact details.
“I’ll check for you and give it to you; it’s not a problem. It’s public. It’s actually filed. So, I’ll check and bring it over to you,” he said.
The disclosure comes as Kalonzo steps up his campaign for the presidency ahead of the 2027 General Election.
During the same interview, he reiterated his intention to be on the presidential ballot in 2027, saying he hoped to run under his rebranded political formation.
Kalonzo, who has previously run for president, said he was on the ballot in 2007 and hoped to return to the race in 2027.
He also presented his long experience in public service as one of the reasons Kenyans could consider him for the presidency, pointing to his decades in elected and government positions.
The former Vice President said Kenya now needed a “new beginning” focused on transparent leadership and fighting corruption.
“At my age, Kenyans can trust. Why would I want to steal? Why would I want to go after public assets and own them and get land, massive chunks of land? Why?” he said.
He said his political vision was centred on what he described as a “rescue mission” for the country, including addressing concerns raised by young Kenyans over transparency and corruption.
