Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) Rashid Achesa on has called on ODM leader Raila Odinga to account for the Sh1 Billion home he built in Kisumu.
Speaking on Sunday, Achesa urged Raila to undergo a lifestyle audit over the multi-million home he allegedly built while he was still Prime Minister.
The CS argued that the directive by President Uhuru Kenyatta on a mandatory lifestyle audit for public officials should be extended to Opposition leaders.
Achesa stated that the construction of the Riat Hills mansion belonging to Raila coincided with his term in office.
"As we speak today, Hon. Raila Odinga is my neighbour in Kisumu, he owns a house worth Sh1 billion on the hills. Let him also be ready to be accountable to Kenyans. He built that house when he was Prime Minister. Let him be ready to tell Kenyans the source of those funds because we know his salary was Ksh.1.2 million and his mortgage was Ksh.40 million. So how does a Ksh40 Million mortgage build a house worth Ksh1 Billion?," the CS posed.
He added that he was ready to undergo the exercise and declare the source of his "fiftybicycles" as the self-proclaimed "village boy".
