Today, we shall list the top ten or top 10 richest politicians in Kenya from the year 2022 to 2023.
First of all, Kenyan Members of Parliament are the second-highest-paid politicians in the world after Nigeria. This is because they earn $6,450 (KSh 710,000) per month, and over KSh 300,000 as monthly allowances.
Secondly, most of the wealthy politicians in Kenya not only rely on their monthly or annual salaries. This is because most of them have side hustle businesses that do pay well to sustain their living standards. A good example is the number of properties and companies owned by Dr. William Ruto.
