When questioned about his presence on TikTok and the display of opulence, Joho assured Kenyans that it is not a show of extravagance, but rather a reflection of his appreciation for finer things.

"I own valuable jewelry of significant worth. However, as a public servant, I am aware of the importance of relating to the public’s issues," he said.
Joho, the former ODM party leader, emphasized the importance of staying connected to the welfare of the people.
"When I am working, I am focused on my duties. Enjoying life is a separate matter. I have owned these pieces, including watches, long before becoming an MP. I understand the need for balance and do not wear them to show off. What value does that bring to anyone?" he posed.
Joho also expressed his appreciation for the finer things in life, noting that he intends to continue enjoying his hard-earned wealth in his private life.
"I value certain aspects of life and believe in maintaining a balance. While serving the people, it is crucial to make them feel comfortable and relatable," he concluded.
