Presidential hopeful Reuben Kigame has revealed that his net worth stands at about Ksh60 million, while insisting his 2027 campaign will be financed by ordinary Kenyans.
Appearing on Citizen TV’s JKLive on Wednesday night, the gospel singer-turned-politician said his assets include a house valued at Ksh30 million, a car worth Ksh3 million, and personal belongings.
“I don’t think it amounts to much. Altogether it could be about Ksh50 to Ksh60 million,” Kigame said.
He ruled out taking money from questionable sources, arguing that his campaign would rely on small donations from citizens and well-wishers.
“You once saw the donation button. That is one way, and of course friends are helping. I believe Kenyans can fund a presidential candidate. It happened with Obama; it can happen here,” he noted.
Kigame further claimed his tax dispute with the Kenya Revenue Authority began soon after he filed a case against senior security officials. He denied claims of owing Ksh20 million, saying the valuation of a tower on his compound, owned by Airtel, was wrongly attributed to him.
The 2022 aspirant, disqualified by IEBC for failing to meet signature thresholds, promised what he termed a “radical and disruptive” presidency anchored on values, inclusivity, education and media freedom.
“I want education to go back to where it was, and even better,” said Kigame, who previously taught at Mary Hill High School and Africa International University.
He pledged to put teachers at the center of reforms, protect press freedom, and integrate persons with disabilities into leadership, citing leaders like Tim Wanyonyi and Crystal Asige as examples.
“My presidency will be disruptive. I want to bring values back into government. Article 10, Article 232, these are about integrity. You cannot run government without values,” he declared.
