Collymore raises transparency bar with declaration of wealth

Safaricom chief executive Bob Collymore’s decision to declare his wealth has significantly raised the bar for wealthy business executives and top public officials, whose responses Kenyans will be eagerly awaiting in the coming weeks.

Mr Collymore yesterday revealed that he is paid an average of Sh9 million per month and that he has net assets of $2.7 million (Sh277.3 million), largely in the form of bank deposits and a house in London, UK.
