Attorney General nominee Dorcas Oduor has revealed that she is worth Ksh85 million.

Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Appointments on Friday, August 9, the AG nominee disclosed that part of her net worth is comprised of land, houses, and a car.

Oduor noted that since the death of her late husband, she has yet to divide the property among her children.

“My family net worth because since my late husband died we have not distributed amongst my children so the total family worth is Ksh85 million,” said Oduor.

She continued “Part of it is land, houses and a car.”
