Hanna Wendot Cheptumo, Nominee for Cabinet Secretary, Gender, Culture, The Arts and Heritage, has declared her family’s net worth at Ksh420 million
Appearing before the Committee on Appointments on the vetting of Cabinet Secretaries’ nominees on Monday, April 14, 2025, Wendot explained that the wealth includes what was owned by her late husband, the late Baringo Senator William Cheptumo.
According to Wendot, most of her family wealth is made up of residential houses and other family businesses.
“Our net worth as a family is Ksh420 million, made of our residential house in Karen is about Ksh100 million, and we have a residential house in Nakuru, Ksh15 million among others,” Wendot stated.
Ksh250,000 missing
While revealing her wealth, Wendot told the vetting committee that she had lost Ksh250,000, which was part of the vast wealth left behind by the late William Cheptumo.
She claimed that a credit cooperative deducted the money from William Cheptumo’s account, claiming that he had borrowed the said amount.
Wendot however did not delve deeper how it happened and action she had taken.
“By the way, Mr Speaker, part of what was supposed to be due to him has already been stolen. During the day we were having the church service, I was told that Ksh250,000 was borrowed by him. I was told who was having his phone, I said I was the one, so you are a beneficiary of corrupt dealings? I said, why? They said he had borrowed Ksh250,000, and already it has been spent, so it is less that,” Wendot stated.
