EACC chairperson nominee Bishop Oginde is worth Ksh.170M

Appearing before National Assembly Justice and Legal Affairs Committee for vetting on Wednesday, Bishop Oginde said that he has accumulated the wealth from assets he owns including property and land.

"I have not asked any accountant to help us with the valuation of the property but the things that we have is Ksh.170 Million," he said.

"It comprises of houses that we are letting out, our own house where we live, some land that we have here and there and other investments in other insurances on so on."

The EACC chair nominee added that prayer convinced him to apply for the role which led to his nomination by President William Ruto.

"When this position came up, many people who knew what I have came to me and asked me to apply, I was not very enthusiastic about it, but after praying about it I thought why not," he said.

His nomination, announced on March 11, 2023, followed recommendations by the Public Service Commission (PSC).

If appointed, Oginde will replace Archbishop (Emeritus) Dr. Eliud Wabukala who has retired after serving as EACC chair for the past six years.
