Raila: I’m ready for lifestyle audit

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has said he is ready for a lifestyle audit, days after President Uhuru Kenyatta declared that state officials must undergo this.

Raila noted on Tuesday that audits are good for his ODM party and Kenya.

“I am ready for it. We are no longer whistle-blowers. We will work with the government to execute the war against corruption,” he told a delegates meeting in Mombasa County on Monday.

He added: “We remain in the Opposition and take the position that what is good for Kenya is good for ODM. A lifestyle audit is good for Kenya. We are in it fully.”

Uhuru ordered the National Intelligence Service to audit public servants, including him and Deputy President William Ruto.

He said all state officers will be asked to explain the sources of their wealth and that all those found to have plundered public coffers will be punished.
