Just days after President Uhuru Kenyattaโs directive for all public officers to submit to lifestyle audits including him and his Deputy William Ruto, Kenyans have taken it to social media under the hashtag #WeKnowYourSalary in a bid to support the Presidentโs directive.
In a tweet, Majority Leader & Senator for Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kipchumba Murkomen said โLifestyle audit it not investigations and itโs not compulsory.
Itโs a voluntary moral process. To make it legal we have to establish the legal framework for it and even then whatโs established cannot be used for prosecution.โ
Joining the conversation online, the Secretary of Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the President, Dennis Itumbi said;
โ@kipmurkomen is saying the truth. Wealth is best measured by understanding all income streams. For a long time many thought the good senator owns a chopper. Now it will be clear he does not, but at least we will know he owns a tractor.
The tractor earns him x amount above salaryโ
This however stirred different reactions on twitter under the hashtag #WeKnowYourSalary
