Opposition activist Miguna Miguna has once again poked holes into the Kenyan media.
In a tweet on Monday, the sworn Jubilee Government critic accused the press of blindly absorbing and popularising alleged lies peddled by the state, citing President Uhuru Kenyatta's recent lifestyle audit directive, which has received good airtime over the last few weeks.
He laughed off Uhuru's reignited war on corruption, terming both the audit and the earlier proposed periphery tests for state officials as fake and silly public relation stunts.
Miguna also accused the President of insincerity in the war against graft, laughing off his recent declaration that he will lead the pack in taking the lifestyle audit before it drips down to his juniors, maintaining that the President cannot and will not be audited.
"Some Kenyans are sick. Uhuru Kenyatta says the most ridiculous thing then compromised pundits and media start promoting it like zombies," he said.
"The fake polygraph tests, lifestyle audits and fight against corruption are silly PR stunts because Kenyatta and his family won't undergo them," he added.
This, however, comes at a time when the President has pledged his full commitment towards eradicating the vice, vowing to not relent in having anyone found culpable subjected to the law.
Uhuru has since proposed prosecution against his younger brother Muhoho Kenyatta who was recently implicated in the contaminated sugar saga, maintaining that he must face the law if found culpable.
