Interior Cabinet Secretary nominee Kithure Kindiki has defended the police deployment to Haiti, describing it as an international obligation that has not affected local security.

Speaking before the National Assembly Committee on Appointments, chaired by Speaker Moses Wetangula Kindiki, Kindiki revealed he has drafted regulations to manage protest conduct in response to recent protests in the country.

He also revealed that his net worth is about Kes694 million, an increase from Kes 544 million declared during his vetting in October 2022.

Kindiki explained that his revenue emanated from various businesses and revenue from his law firm, which has recently increased his net worth.

“First let me start by saying I have not benefitted from any improper business. I have not done any business with the government. Most of the increment is because of three things, legal fees which were pending and I also do small businesses.”
