Monday, August 5, 2024 - The proposed Cabinet Secretary nominee for Cooperatives and MSMEs, Wycliffe Oparanya, has revealed his net worth.
Appearing before the
National Assembly Committee on Appointments on Sunday, Oparanya, a former
ODM deputy Party leader, said his net worth is Sh 600 million.
Oparanya said his net worth was
primarily in the form of buildings and homes he owns.
“My net worth is around Sh600
million made out of buildings and houses that I reside in,” said Oparnya.
The former Kakamega Governor also claimed that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had never called him to provide a statement.
Oparanya also stated that he has never been involved in corruption and assured that, if approved, the money for cooperatives will be safe in his hands.
“Nobody has come to me to write
a statement. I have never been given a chance to tell my story,” Oparanya
remarked.
The Cooperatives CS nominee also
said if approved by the National Assembly, he is ready to resign if found
guilty of graft.
“If you give me this position
and I am found guilty of stealing money from Kakamega County, I am ready to
resign,” Oparanya added.
Oparanya has two official wives and recently introduced his girlfriend.
