Following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s recent remarks, Kenyans cannot wait for the same corrupt leaders to perform a lifestyle audit against themselves.
History remembers, 'world's poorest president' Uruguay-president-Jose-Mujica (2010-2015). The man consistently donated 90% of his $12,000 monthly income to charity. He lived a simple lifestyle from his car, security. His main agenda was to serve his people #WeKnowYourSalary pic.twitter.com/ayK6mb7oAE

They instead have went ahead and formed a social media campaign to expose leaders whom they feel are having a lap of luxury at the expense of the public.
A twitter tending hashtag dubbed #WeKnowYourSalary championed by self made blogger Cyprian Nyakundi and Robert Alai has since gained mileage and busted a number of top politicians who Kenyans feel they are living a very unfair lifestyle.
The biggest casualty in the busting hashtag is Deputy President William Ruto and Kirinyaga women rep Anne Waiguru.
Below are some of the take ons
William Ruto-DP
In order to quickly recoup his Return On Investment (ROI), @WilliamsRuto has leased out his choppers to @KenyaPower and @ketercharles at the Ministry of Energy for millions every month in addition to building his own private HANGAR at Wilson #WeKnowYourSalary pic.twitter.com/Y4Vz340jxf

#WeKnowYourSalary, Gov Waiguru, when busted with NYS loot claimed that she bought this mansion, worth btn Sh100 M & Sh180 M, using a gov mortgage.
How did she make payments with her salary then?
I bet UK’s fake #LifestyleAudit will somehow not audit Waiguru & her money bags. pic.twitter.com/9apkB6ugjs
