Duale told the National Assembly Committee on Appointments that the assets include 231 camels, sheep, and goats.
“Chair, I’m worth Sh851 million including the assets I own. Including the goats, sheep and camels that I own I even had to go and value my 231 camels somewhere in Kitui county,” he said.
According to the Garissa Township MP, his current income is around Sh10 million.
“My current source of income annually in terms of rentals and other is about Sh10 million.”
Duale is the third cabinet nominee to appear before the panel today.
He is a close ally of President William Ruto, with whom he has had a friendship since 2007, when he first entered politics and they were both elected on an ODM party ticket.
In 2011, they joined the United Republican Party (URP), then Jubilee, and finally the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
