A section of ODM MPs have accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of bribing voters.
According to the lamakers, the head of state is bribing the electorate in the guise of compensating IDPs in Kisii and Nyamira during campaign tours.
This is after Uhuru on Tuesday presented Kisii IDPs a cheque of Sh358 million and pledged another Sh470 million for those who were displaced in Nyamira by the 2007/8 post election violence.
Opposition MPs led by Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja) have said there should be a comprehensive audit of the compensation scheme.
They noted the exercise has been marred with discrimination.
"This scheme is shrouded in a lot of mystery and we want to know the amount spent so far, who has been compensated and how much they were given," Wandayi said.
They claimed the Sh50,000 Uhuru is giving each IDP in Kisii and Nyamira counties is little compared to what was given to those in Central Kenya.
