The audit was ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta as a way of fighting corruption in the country.

Kinyua revealed that at least a third of government workers had failed to account for their declared wealth.

Employees who fail to account for their welath might lose their jobs or face prosecution.

While Uhuru initially suspended Heads of Procurement and Accounting officers in various departments, it was announced in August that the scope of the audit had been extended to all public servants.

Kinyua said that most of the workers had shown the source of their wealth.

“We are finding that many of the civil servants are good people who can account foreverything they own and how they came to own it,” he stated.

He further stated that the lifestyle audit would be completed within the next four weeks.

While giving the order, President Uhuru Kenyatta said that alongside his Deputy Williakm Ruto, they will undergo the audit.

“Corruption must end and those trying to politicise the issue will not succeed. A thief is a thief, he has no tribe. You cannot use your tribe to shield and justify yourself. We cannot afford to trivialise graft by politicking,” said Uhuru.
