At the interview, the flamboyant lawyer who is known for his taste in fashion said that in his closet, the cheapest suit cost him around KSh 170,ooo- that is the price of a 40 by 80 patch of land in Juja Farm- if the posters we see on the streets are to go by.
The lawyer revealed that he inherited the knack for expensive dressing from his late father who was a commisioner of the customs at the Kenya Revenue Authority.

Ombetta went on to tell the Standard newspaper that some of his suits cost him an upward of KSh 500,000 and that he would not be caught dead in a suit that goes for KSh, 30,000- because everyone wears that.
The lawyer also owns four Mercedes- Benzes and two high end Toyotas.
The lawyer refused to represent controversial pastor, James Ng’ang’a in court. He also left controversial gynaecologist, Mugo Wa Wairimu stranded in court after refusing to show up.
The four police officers he is representing in court are: Senior Sergeant Fredrick Leliman, Corporal Stephen Chebulet, Constable Silvia Wanjiku Wanjohi and Sergeant Leonard Maina Mwangi.
Mwangi was arrested on Tuesday, July 6 and arraigned in court where the prosecution was allowed to detain him for 13 days to complete the investigation.
They are all connected to the murder of Willie Kimani and two other Kenyans.
