Inspector General (IG) nominee Douglas Kanja has disclosed a net worth of Sh46 million during his vetting process. Kanja, who appeared before the parliamentary committee, revealed that his wealth is primarily composed of land, a house in Nairobi, a home in his village, salary savings, and income from farming activities.
Kanja detailed that a significant portion of his net worth comes from property, including the house in Nairobi and his rural home. He further elaborated that the remaining assets include salary savings accumulated over the years of his service and proceeds from farming, which he has actively engaged in to supplement his income.
Kanja emphasized his commitment to transparency and accountability, noting that all his assets were lawfully acquired. He assured the committee that, if confirmed as the Inspector General, he would uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in the police service.
The declaration of his net worth is part of the standard procedure for public officials undergoing vetting, aiming to ensure that those in public office have acquired their wealth through legitimate means. Kanja’s vetting continues as Parliament deliberates on his suitability for the top police position.
