Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi set the cat upon the pigeons by demanding that the lifestyle audit be done to Uhuru's father, Jomo Kenyatta.
The outspoken legislator said that he welcomed the president's announcement.
"I fully behind the lifestyle audit. I welcome auditors to look into ny lifestyle from when I was a tout and my father's lifestyle when he was a cook. The president's audit should extend to his father Jomo," Oscar Sudi said.
The lawmaker's strong words come amid an animated public debate on the president's lifestyle audit announcement.
There has been concern in some quarters that the announcement is targeted at the deputy president in order to torpedo his presidential ambitions.
President Uhuru Kenyatta said that the lifestyle audit would help in identifying those had plundered public coffers.
Many see Sudi's remarks as an indication of the unease that has gripped Ruto's camp.
