A statesperson of calibre is indeed liable to several allowances and state benefits.

Fred Matiangi houses and investments
Matiangi owns a never photographed palatial house at his ancestral home in Nyamira County.
He occasionally lands in the village with choppers and at times a fleet of security escort fuel guzzlers.
Also, Matiangi owns hectares of land at Simbauti Farm within the neighbourhood of Governor James Ongwae’s gated residence.
On top of that is an official Karen Estate home decorated with mansions.
In 2020, Boniface Mwangi accused Matiangi of using prisoners to build his home in Karen.
“I only have one question for Dr. @FredMatiangi’ Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Security, why is he using prisoners to build his private home in Karen? That’s abuse of power. It’s also unchristian behaviour for a man who professes Christ.”

In the end, these Twitter charged accusations failed to grip.
Finally, Matiangi and Zablon Mabea co-owned a one-hectare piece of land on which a Karen-based SDA Church was erected in 2018.
