Kidero had earlier told the court the money was received as donations and contributions from well-wishers for his campaign.
The case, in which the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) was also involved, also raised questions about his wealth, with claims that he had assets worth Sh9 billion.
EACC had listed 58 properties, stating that some were registered in the names of his children, while some of the properties targeted were purchased before he joined Mumias Sugar Company.
In his submissions on Monday, Kidero disclosed that he was worth about Sh536.9 million.
