PRESS STATEMENT BY SENATOR OKIYA OMTATAH ON THE PUBLIC DEBT CASE RULING
Fellow Kenyans,
Today, the High Court delivered an important ruling in our public debt case.
The Court upheld the @IMFNews claim of diplomatic immunity and struck it out of this petition. While we respect the Court’s decision, accountability for Kenya’s debt burden cannot end there.
We are preparing a separate legal challenge to the Bretton Woods Agreements Act, 1963, against the Constitution of Kenya 2010 to ensure all actors involved in Kenya’s debt processes are subjected to proper scrutiny.
Most importantly, the Court rejected attempts by the Attorney General and other respondents to have this case dismissed. The judges ruled that our petition will proceed to a full hearing on its merits.
The Court also dismissed applications by the former Auditor General, former Controller of Budget, the current Auditor General, and the current Controller of Budget seeking to shield themselves from these proceedings.
This is a significant victory for transparency, accountability, and the Kenyan people.
We will amend our petition as directed by the Court and return on 22nd July 2026. Our mission remains unchanged: to establish how Kenya accumulated trillions in public debt, how the funds were utilized , whether the public benefited and whether the law was followed at every stage.
This case is about protecting the future of our nation and the interests of every Kenyan taxpayer.
We remain focused, determined, and committed to seeing it through.
God Bless Kenya.

Good. They are exercising their Democratic rights. Same as the people on the streets. Or you think rights should only apply as long they are not painting govt in bad light?
Dear President William Ruto,
At a time when Kenya is marking two years since the deaths of young Gen Z protesters, your public attack on Standard Media Group is deeply worrying.The media is not your enemy. A free press is not a favour from State House. It is a right protected by the Constitution. Its work is to ask questions, report facts, expose failure and hold power to account.

One thing that this regime has exposed under the broad based agreement is that ODM has never stood for anything. Disappointed for the intellects still supporting the hijacked Party.
Protesters took Ericsson’s body after police ignored him. They draped the flag over him and sang the national anthem.
The brother with the fade and orange shirt held his hand. It broke my heart

They want to spend KSh 375 BILLION expanding JKIA.
That's enough money to build an entire new international airport from scratch.
For context: China built the massive Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport for just KSh 285 Billion.
This is your money. Demand better.
Bomas, not ready for inaugural conference. KipKeino not ready for AFCON. And these are the flagship projects. A government of utterly useless people. Bure kabisa!
