Deputy President William Ruto was interviewed by BBC’s Stephen Sackur on Monday over wide ranging issues affecting the country.
In the BBC programme HARDtalk, Ruto who looked calm and composed refused to disclose his net worth when asked by Sackur to do so.
Instead Ruto asked Sackur to do his homework and establish how much he is worth.
“That information is available in public domain.”
“I encourage you to Google and find out what William Ruto owns.”
“I am prepared to tell you where to find that information, Sackur,” Ruto told Sackur.
Mr Sackur immediately chimed in saying: “Do you think that information you are telling me makes any sense?”
Mr Ruto replied:
“Of course, it does. It doesn’t make sense to you?
Mr Sackur, in response, said:
“Not really, because you do not want to tell me how much you are worth, [yet you say it is in public domain]?”
Ruto is regarded as one of the richest leaders in the country.
The DP owns 9 choppers, huge tracts of lands in Rift Valley and a number of hotels in Nairobi and Mombasa among other properties.
