Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has fired shots at the ruling Jubilee Party leaders opposed to the proposed lifestyle audit.
This comes only days after a faction of the party leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto opposed President Uhuru Kenyatta's lifestyle audit order.
They claimed it has a malicious motive aimed at raising suspicions on the Ruto's integrity.
Speaking on Radio Citizen on Friday morning, the county chief bashed the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen-led team, noting that they should actually go first in the test.
According to Mutua, the team opposed to the anti-graft technique is most likely hiding something, noting that they should be given first priority to reveal the reason behind their opposition.
"Any leader opposed to the audit must be having something to hide and should actually be audited first," Mutua said.
Mutua blamed the runaway graft in the country for the worrying poverty levels and weakening economy.
Speaking on Radio Citizen on Sunday, Murkomen questioned the audit's authenticity, saying it is illegal in its current nature and could easily to transformed into a mechanism for settling political and personal scores.
Both the President and Ruto have, however, since expressed their willingness and readiness to take the test.
