Jubilee MP Challenges President Uhuru to Allow Lifestyle Audit on Mzee Jomo Kenyatta

A Jubilee Member of Parliament says the lifestyle audit on all public servants ordered by President Kenyatta last week should also include Kenya's founding President.

Speaking on Saturday, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi welcomed President Kenyatta's order for lifestyle audit and challenged him to also include his late father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.

Kenyatta, who spoke in Mombasa on Thursday, said the wealth review will be done on all government officials including himself, Deputy President William Ruto, Cabinet Secretaries, Governors, Senators and MPs.

"You must be able to explain how you got your car, your house and land in comparison to what you earn," the President said.

"Transparency is when all those in authority declare what they own and how they got their property."

Oscar, a second-time MP, said the scrutiny should also be done on the senior Kenyatta."We are with the President on this, in fact, more than 100 per cent. We ask everyone to submit to the audit including political leaders and their families."

"We will start with Mzee Jomo, then follow with him and the rest of us," Sudi said, adding that he's more than ready to reveal how he acquired his wealth since his days as a matatu tout.

Sudi said he will also account for every wealth amassed by his father, a former cook at Moi University. His sentiments were echoed by his Kesses counterpart Dr Swarrup Mishra. 

"No one should have fears over the lifestyle audit if they acquired what they have genuinely," he said.
