Murang’a professional leader has dismissed recent media claims about the former Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Chairman Anthony Mwaura, over acquisition of a Ksh 1.6 billion stake in HF Group as misleading and unfounded.
Mr. Ibrahim H. Adan described Mwaura as an accomplished businessman with more than 25 years of experience in Kenya’s corporate sector.
He said recent media reports have failed to recognize Mwaura’s long-standing investment track record and instead appear to be driven by business rivalries and political animosity.
“Anthony Mwaura stands out as a prominent investor with a rich portfolio spanning diverse market segments. The insinuations circulating in both social and mainstream media do not reflect the breadth of his established investment history,” said Mr. Adan.
Adan questioned the motives behind the scrutiny directed solely at Mwaura, despite the existence of many other wealthy business figures whose equity stakes and revenues surpass his.
He urged commentators and the media to evaluate Mwaura’s net worth through a broader and more accurate lens, one that reflects the entirety of his wealth accumulation journey rather than short-sighted judgments.
“The assessments of Mr. Mwaura’s net worth by these commentators are fundamentally flawed,” Adan said, adding that “they must consider his full trajectory and achievements, rather than focus on sensational claims.”
Mwaura, who served as KRA Chairman before leaving office earlier this year, has been a subject of public debate following his reported stake in the HF Group.
However, his supporters maintain that his success is the result of decades of consistent business acumen and investment strategy.
President William Ruto in December reassigned Anthony Mwaura, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Board Chairperson, to head the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) in a shake-up of key positions in his administration.
