From the outset, she sought to project herself as being of superior, cultured pedigree.
She chastised the Deputy President for “drawing a salary without working” as well as for disrespecting the President.
She boasted of her own service, dedication, and deference to her previous boss, President Mwai Kibaki.
She said she wasn’t hungry for material wealth like many others.
That she owns a house in Nairobi, and another on her father’s parcel of land. Yes, she cast herself as a landless, modest, and relatable Kenyan…
We also learned that Ms Karua had bank deposits of Sh56 million in 2013, which were proceeds from her six years in the Cabinet.
Since then, this amount has risen to Sh150 million “due to inflation”.
She did not indicate, during the debate, that she had new revenue streams since she lost elections nine years ago.
She stated that she does not mix campaign funding, such as the controversial BAT donation, with her own money.
Since inflation is not a creator of wealth, Ms Karua needs to explain the real source of her millions…
For a resource-poor country, where a third of its budget is stolen, the presence of millions of dollars, all in idle cash, in bank accounts of individuals who might have had access to public coffers—like Martha Karua and Rigathi Gachagua—is telling. …
150million is lootalls three month tithe huko kanisani kiambaa .
That ninja dishes out millions like they hatch from his chicken daily huko sugoi mega farm. And ask him about the source on debate he starts blinking his eyes like @Demakuvu after eating beautiful female farts
We all know the questions sorrounding Ruto’s wealth which was amassed illegally but this is about Karua. Do you think she amassed the 150 million legally from her salary and businesses?
That’s small amount for a Kikuyu lady to amass .infact I was shocked how poor she is . Give a Kikuyu biach 7k salary and with two years of biashara za kuzugushwa uji she drives a kadudu . Karua has no single scandle apart from kudeenyer shamba boy and am sure he raped her and felt nice . This lady works hard for everything and she is honest .I wish she give me that ikusde even if it’s wrinkled I would gladly eat it like Kenyan economy depends on that .ahsanteni
Am skeptical that money is nowhere near the real figure. It’s politics, anything goes and saa ii gloves are off. Lazima politicians wagain ground by whatever means possible.
Brathe, hata David Ndii wa KK aliclarify what Karua meant when she said inflation. Mama alikuwa anamaanisha appreciation of her property in Runda. They are in every sense neighbours na Ndii. A small house in a leafy neighbourhood plus a few rentals here and there and you easily pass the Ksh.100million mark in valuation.
