For the first time, President Uhuru Kenyatta has joined ongoing debate about lifestyle audit which had been vehemently criticized by politicians close to his deputy William Ruto.

With Uhuru keen to use the audit as part of nabbing graft lords, Ruto's ally led by Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi dared Uhuru to backdate it to independence.

"If you want to go that route, then let us also know how some people acquired huge tracks of lands. We must also audit Jomo Kenyatta," he said.

Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen also claimed that the audit targeted DP, who has been linked to various graft scams.

But in an interview with the BBC, Uhuru insisted that he is ready to have his kin audited because none is above the law.

“We can even go back to my grandfather, great grandfather. . . What we own, and what we have is known to the public. 

"If there is an instance where someone can say what we have done is not legitimate, say it, and we are ready to face any court,” he said.

Over the weekend, Sudi also suggestively hit back at Kenyatta family when he said 'some families own almost half of Kenya'.

Lately, Jubilee party seems to be split in two despite Ruto putting on a brave face whenever attending functions presided over by his boss.

While Ruto's ally have persistently questioned the handshake between Uhuru and his political nemesis Raila Odinga, the president has maintained that he will never be shaken.

"It is just a deeper understanding between us. We need to move Kenya ahead," he said.
