From his legal exploits to his stint in government spanning over three decades, the senior counsel is a wealthy man, and his house is clear proof that he eats life with a big spoon.

His village house was first seen by the public after he hosted the ODM leader Raila Odinga and his wife, Ida Odinga together with a host of his friends at his home in Ugenya on Sunday, December 27, 2020.

The house features well-manicured lawns with a very green serene surrounding. The house which is painted white on the upper walls with grey colour on the lower wall is a real marvel. The large windows boats gold-coloured curtains. Parts of the house have a well designed wooden floor.

In the photos, the lawyer shared images of the dining room, and living room, both of which ooze elegance, giving a clear picture of posh house. Mutua was behind the camera as his wife and three sons, Mwalimu Makau Mutua, Amani Mutua and Jueria Abdul, were the only ones captured in the photo.

The living room boasting a vaulted ceiling showed an image of Kenyan freedom fighter Dedan Kimathi over the fireplace.

The lawyer also built a 5 bedroomed house in Kitui which he has since transformed into a hotel christened Kitui Villa Hotel and is considered one of the best in the Eastern region.

Nelson Havi

The former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president boasts an impressive legal career and is hailed for his work at the lawyers’ body.

Havi makes the big bucks. In an exclusive interview with a local daily in December 2020, the city lawyer revealed that he charges at least Ksh2 million in legal fees.

He argued that a lawyer of his standing should not charge anything below that amount, adding that it costs an arm and a leg to train a lawyer.

“If I charge you anything less than Ksh2 million, consider it a discount,” he quipped.

In 2019, Havi took to Twitter to share throwback images of when he was growing up, revealing that he was raised in a grass-thatched house. According to the LSK president, that was the best house he has ever lived in.
However, as he built a name for himself and established ‘Havi’ as a household in the legal streets of Kenya, the lawyer built himself an elegant mansion in Likuyani, Kakamega County.
