My net worth is Ksh.2.3 billion - Mining CS Nominee Hassan Joho

Appearing before the the Committee on Appointments on Sunday, Joho said that the wealth comprises his properties and shareholding in a plethora of businesses, some of which are family-owned.

"Largely built by developed properties including my homes in Mombasa, Vipingo, Nairobi and Malindi. Shareholding in property holdings, shareholding in family businesses, valuables in watches and cash at bank," he said.

Joho, whose opulent lifestyle is publicly known, said that he chooses to be mindful while enjoying his accrued wealth and sees no point in flaunting it.

"I have been wearing them (watches) even before I became MP, long before but I know how to balance. I don't have to wear it to show off. What value will it give to anybody? I enjoy wearing them," he said.

"I don't need to show off what you have you have and what you don't you don't. You should be cautious of others."
