BRIEF ON TODAY’S PROCEEDINGS IN THE ODIOUS DEBT PETITION AT MILIMANI HIGH COURT

This morning, the Milimani High Court did not hear the substantive Odious Debt Petition. Instead, the matter was adjourned to allow the Court to address multiple interlocutory applications seeking either to dismiss the petition unheard or to strike out some parties from the suit.

The key applications before the Court are as follows:
1) The Attorney General argues that, because the Government has directed the Auditor‑General to conduct a special audit of Kenya’s huge odious debt stock, the petition is premature and the Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain it at this stage. The AG therefore contends that the Court should await the outcome of that audit. The National Assembly supports the AG’s position.

2) The @IMFNews seeks to exit the case, invoking immunity under a treaty it signed with Kenya in 1963, which grants it absolute immunity before Kenyan courts.

3) The Former Auditor General Edward Ouk and the former Controller of Budget Agnes Odhiambo claim personal immunity, asserting that they acted in good faith during their tenure and therefore cannot be held accountable for any shortcomings.

4) The Current Auditor General FCPA Nancy Gathungu, CBS, and the current Controller of Budget Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o maintain that they cannot be sued in their personal capacities; only their respective independent constitutional offices may be parties to the suit.

Although the petitioners had fully responded to all the applications and were ready to proceed, the @IMFAfrica and other parties stated that they were not ready and requested seven days to respond to the petitioners’ rebuttals of their applications.

The Court then directed that all parties wishing to file any responses (replying affidavits and/or submissions) do so within seven days of today. The Court will thereafter peruse the documents and render its ruling on the applications on 25th June 2026.

To fast‑track the matter, the Court will deliver its ruling on the applications without orally hearing the parties. There will be no highlighting of submissions.

If any of the parties are struck out, they will be dropped from the case, and it may become necessary to amend the petition before it is heard on the merits.

Finally, if the AG’s application to strike out the case unheard is dismissed, the petition will proceed to be heard and determined on the merits. If the application succeeds, the matter will end there.

The petitioners are fully prepared and are doing everything possible to succeed in this epic battle against Kenya’s huge odious debt stock. Kenyan taxpayers deserve accountability and fiscal justice. We shall not relent. The petitioners will not be the first to blink. #ReKe #DeniBandia #OdiousDebtKenya

My 14 Most Important Lessons about Entrepreneurship: 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

1/ Bias to action always WINS.

Any analysis ahead of action is purely speculation. You really do not understand something until you've done it. Analysis post-action can be driven by real data.

So when you are stuck, TAKE ACTION vs keep thinking.

2/ Never be the bottleneck for someone to get work done.

This is one simple principle that requires you to be organized, effective at communication, and good at delegation.

3/ When it comes to business results, be ruthless.

But when it comes to people, be very compassionate.

The best leaders do not either/or this, they integrate it, every day.

4/ There is no such thing as a momentary lapse of integrity.

If someone is dishonest, it is likely not the first time and definitely not the last time.

When you first see it, take decisive action.

5/ Have everyone "assume positive intent."

Assume people want to do a good job, want the company to succeed, and want to grow in their careers.

Even if these aren't all true, it makes one more open-minded and less petty.

If your team does this, 99% of conflicts go away.

6/ People are people.

They are all different from each other; they all have good days and bad days, and everyone enjoys being recognized and praised.

People need to be motivated, guided, and empowered.

7) Tenacity is the most important trait for building a company.

It is not intelligence, creativity, or salesmanship, but sheer determination.

8) Build strong relationships with mentors, people a few steps ahead of you, and peers.

9) There is no RIGHT way to start and build a company, stop looking for one.

10) If you constantly find yourself unsatisfied and unhappy, consider it time to do the inner work.

Meditate, find a coach, and start to explore what really drives you.

11) Fear as a motivator is a non-renewable resource that leaves a negative residue on you and those around you.

12) When in conflict, I'd take curiosity & enthusiasm over intelligence & organization.

People who love learning win.

13) Learn the art of selling

Selling isn’t just required in business, it’s required in everything you do.

Learn how to make clear, concise, compelling arguments.

Good question, what's the purpose of an economic advisor if you can't adequately advise the administration out of this conundrum? We have a regime that doesn't know how to handle their responsibilities instead it's all about assigning blame to everyone else apart from themselves.

[Machete Dont Tweet! @BryantMaryadit]

@DavidNdii You do not inspire a lot of confidence in Kenyans, all your talk is negative, almost as if you are sitting on your hands and unable to deal with the challenges presented. It begs the question, why take the job if you appear helpless like millions of other Kenyans?

In Meru Town there's a milk cafe owned by the Meru Dairy cooperative (trades as Mt. Kenya milk brand?), selling yoghurt, fresh milk and fermented milk (lala).. And you can get a side of ugali or pastry with it. But what's most interesting about this place is 👇🏾

Systematically raising taxes is a bad solution.If you pay too much taxes then the money does not flow into the private sector, the money doesn't benefit the economy and does not enable wealth to increase. Individuals can no longer freely dispose the money they have earned.

@MutahiNgunyi Makes more sense to subsidize production as a long term policy rather than consumption for populist ends.
