Inspector General of Police nominee Eng. Japhet Koome has told MPs that his net worth is Sh89.9 million.
Koome attributes his net worth to his two plots in Kitengela and 37 hectares in his rural home.
He also mentioned savings in Sacco, motor vehicles and two tractors.
Koome also shared his views on the ‘wash wash’ business.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday he said that many educated people were falling into the business.
“Wash wash business is very unfortunate and it’s embarrassing to see educated people falling for this trap,” Koome said.
He also vowed to end the ugly culture of corruption denting the police image.
The nominee admitted that bribery is rampant along the roads, something he promised to deal with if approved.
“I will not sit here to attempt to defend what is happening on our roads,” Koome said.
