Kenyans on twitter however went on to react to his wealth revelation, with some wondering why he saw validation in his two bank accounts, two wives and 17 children.
Some went on to question how the matter was of concern to them.
Here are some of the reactions.
Wonder why he finds validation in 2 banks, 2 wives, and 2 cars.
Not how he’s contributed to the betterment of humanity. We need to transcend such levels of pettiness.
Even worse, he’s an elected representative for the workers across the world.
