Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
I just checked. The wealth index IS in all Kenya surveys in that interval, including the 2015 MIS. For the 1998 survey (and in general for surveys conducted before about 2000) you need to merge the wealth index from a special "WI" file (KEWI31FL.dta). For the older surveys the wealth index was calculated retroactively after the standard recode files were released. You can merge with any of the recode files using the household ID code.
