EXCLUSIVE: Mudavadi suddenly becomes super Rich

Friday June 8, 2012 - MM's rise in 'power' and wealth has in the recent past caught JATELO TODAY'S eye. Last week the Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi was spotted with a brand new acquired custom made Armored Range Rover machine worth Sh 40 million. But that was just a tip of an iceberg to what the DPM is now worth.

Sources close to the DPM have revealed to the JATELO TODAY that, Mudavadi has also acquired a new custom made Toyota VX Lexus worth Sh 36 million. The car has bullet proofed body, mirrors and all terrain run flat tyres.

Although the two cars are regularly in his convoy, the DPM does not use them when entering the venues of his rallies instead opting for a cheaper green Toyota Prado, KBR last used by Kimunya when he entered the TNA launch's VIP dais almost a month ago. The two newly acquired cars are KBR series registration.

Mudavadi's new ride (Pictured below) is secured from a 7.62mm calibre bullet, landmine and grenade explosions. It can also withstand a blast similar to the one at Assanands House recently. For intruders who may be on foot, electric shock will keep them away. It comes complete with a heavy duty suspension, adjustable shock absorbers and special alloy 18-inch wheels

Many political analysts and pundits have tried to unearth whether Mudavadi is “somebody’s project”.

The question may have been answered partly on Friday during the Madaraka Day Celebrations in Nyayo Stadium, when he (Mudavadi) was accorded a rare task of inviting President Mwai Kibaki to address the nation.

Also, Mudavadi after the Madaraka celebrations, he was flown with a military helicopter to his home town in Sabatia constituency, a thing he enjoyed last in 2002, when he was in KANU.

Mudavadi’s security detail has also been beefed up in his homes in Nairobi and Mululu.

“The DPM has been given additional five security guards from presidential elite guards who are accompanying him at all tours,” the source said.

Mudavadi’s motorcade has also increased with a fully armoured military van at his disposal equivalent to the Vice President’s motorcade.

Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi has yet again raised eyebrows after representing President Kibaki at an official function yet the president's principal deputy Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka was in the country.

The big question is; is Mudavadi president Kibaki’s project?
