He added that over the years, he diligently worked as a public servant, hence amassing wealth in the process.
"Mr. Chairman, I have been a very modest public servant and my net worth is currently estimated at just Ksh700 million.
(His sources of income) Currently from my activities as a farmer and through consultancies that I do from time to time, I get rewards. Otherwise, I am now a retired speaker so I ought to get my pension and I expect that what I will earn from the public coffers should be governed by the designated State officers act of 2015," he noted.
Muturi's statement came after he declared his wealth in November 2021, saying that he had amassed a net worth of Ksh300 million.
While making public his net worth through a social media engagement forum, Muturi affirmed that he had channeled bank loans to running multiple businesses.

"I am worth approximately Ksh300 million most of my property was acquired through bank loans and civil servant remuneration for 36 years. I support a lifestyle audit on all leaders plus an explanation of how all their wealth was acquired and this should not be done in secret," said Muturi, who at the time was vying to clinch the presidency in the August 9 poll.
He also supported a lifestyle audit to be conducted on all leaders plus an explanation of how they amassed their wealth.
