Hassan Joho net worth and sources of income are some of the trending topics amidst a controversial academic record. The former Mombasa Governor confessed to being a billionaire on appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Appointments for the position of Cabinet Secretary.
The opposition-leaning Joho was recently appointed to replace Hon Salim Mvurya as the new CS for the Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs.

How rich is Joho? CS Hassan Ali Joho recently declared his net worth at Ksh. 2.36 billion with huge stakes in real estate properties and shares in profitable companies.
These include a vast empire of properties in Mombasa, Nairobi, Vipingo, and Malindi urban centers. In addition to that, Joho brags several shares worth millions in major firms.
Besides, he comes from a well-grounded family in the clearing and forwarding industry.
“My family is in the logistics business and they are extremely busy… Sometimes I even struggle to encourage them to help me with social programs and our foundation.”

When asked about his display of opulence, Joho defended himself as a low-key tycoon.
“What I want to assure this honorable committee is that I appreciate certain factors of life and you must have a balance.
When you are serving the people, you must first of all make them feel comfortable. So opulence for me is a no.
When I am working, I am working, when I am enjoying myself in my own setup at home, that’s fine and that’s another story.
But when am going to Kenyan people my dedication is to work for them.”

His detailed response to the Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah elicited mixed reactions amidst jitters of laughter.
Perhaps the greatest highlight from the most watched grilling was the question about academic qualifications.
Joho defended himself by saying that despite scoring a D- minus in KCSE exams, he is now a Masters’ Degree Student at the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School of Government in the USA.
On assuming office, Joho’s monthly salary will be a whooping Ksh. 934,000 excluding loyalties and other benefits.
The net worth of Hassan Joho continues to elicit mixed reactions with a majority of critics trolling his academic competencies ahead of the tough job ahead.
