Gender Cabinet Secretary nominee Stella Soi Lang'at states that her net worth currently stands at Sh70 million. Her net worth includes homes, land, cows, avocado orchards, shares, and securities.

While appearing before parliamentarians on Sunday during vetting, Lang’at said her 29 years in public service would be crucial in helping her serve in the Gender docket. 

Some of the ministries Lang'at has served include; State Department of Public Service and the Labour Department. She was also part of the team that established the State Department of Gender in 2004. 

The nominee has served in various regions, including Nyanza, Eastern, and South Rift Valley. Notably, Lang'at mentioned her involvement in activities that ensured girls were protected from retrogressive cultural practices in Bomet County.

"Those experiences have helped me build resilience and interact with environments where GBV is rampant and interventions are needed to strengthen the fight against GBV," she said. 

Lang’at further noted that female genital mutilation (FGM) and early marriages were more common in communities where poverty was widespread. 

"So, to address the challenges of FGM and early marriages we need to address poverty in our communities by empowering men and women and more the men."  By Stephanie Wangari, The Standard
