I have added Sh70m to my net worth – Murkomen

Sports Cabinet Secretary nominee Kipchumba Murkomen has said his net worth is Sh620,000,000.

During his last appearance before the vetting committee in September 2022, his net worth was Sh550,000,000.

“After I was approved, I took a mortgage of Sh40 million and invested it. Besides that, my assets have generally appreciated by about Sh20 million,” he said.

He also said he had other earnings from farming, adding about Sh10 million.

He was the fifth and last nominee before the Committee on Appointments on Saturday.

Murkomen vowed to serve with integrity, great honor and dignity if approved.

“I plead with the committee to find my suitability favorably. Should I be approved once again I will serve with great honor and dignity Mr Speaker,” he said before he took his leave.

If confirmed, Murkomen will succeed former Sports CS Ababu Namwamba.
