Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo now wants Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi to stop dragging founding President Jomo Kenyatta's name into the current clamor for lifestyle audit for public and state officers.
Sudi said as civil servants and political leaders are audited, the same exercise should be done on Kenya's first Head of State to determine his source of wealth.
This after President Uhuru Kenyatta announced on Thursday that public officers would be put to task to explain their source of wealth in a move aimed at ending massive corruption in the country.
"We are with the President on this, in fact, more than 100 percent. We ask everyone to submit to the audit including political leaders and their families. We will start with Mzee Jomo, then follow with him (Uhuru) and the rest of us," Sudi said on Saturday during a burial in Uasin Gishu county.
But Kabogo, in a tweet, asked the MP to keep off Jomo's name and let him 'rest in peace'.
"Sudi, Hayati Mzee Jomo is one of our founding fathers. Let him RIP (Rest in Peace). I can understand your frustrations but let it be," he posted on Saturday.
In a quick rejoinder, however, a popular blogger Robert Alai told off Kabogo, insisting that no stone should remain unturned in the war against graft.
"No letting it be. There are inheritors of Jomo. If we are doing lifestyle audit, (it) must not be selective," Alai tweeted.
