When one generation faces the very same dynamics that their parents faced 30 years ago, and is facing a deaf government like their parents did 30 years ago, and is paying loans to the same sharks that destroyed its economy 30 years ago, it is no longer enough to speak the usual language of listening to the youth and seeking dialogue. We’ve been here before, calling for police restraint, and for respect of the judiciary and human rights. Clearly, those calls have not worked. Therefore, the next question we must ask is, “Why are we still here after 30 years?” Read Analysis: https://t.co/yzqKUKxxFb

A thriving democracy relies on public representation, but Kenyans are being aggressively shut out of crucial decision-making. Recent remarks by the Cabinet Secretary on Kenya’s Ebola facility, as highlighted by @_jeffian, reveal that the local mwananchi is excluded from the decision making process. This reality was cemented when Parliament passed the 2026 Finance Bill with zero public participation. The blatant disregard for the people shows leadership prioritizing power over its citizens. Taxation without representation isn't a civic duty; it's a profound injustice.

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.

Stephen, a member of the #YouthinAction network from Uganda demonstrating that good governance and civic engagement begins at the community.
He has been at the forefront of creating spaces where refugees, local leaders and host communities can dialogue, raise concerns and collectively find solutions to challenges affecting refugee livelihoods and dignity in Uganda 🇺🇬.
10 days. 1,556 km. One powerful message.
Our Nairobi–Addis caravan has come to a close with young #SDGs champions safely back home.
From moments in Marsabit 🇰🇪 to #ARFSD 🇪🇹, they showed what child participation in action looks like: advocacy, leadership, impact.
The journey ends. The movement continues.
@calvinokello4 Not a defence in law. 6 people in their sober minds knew the consequence of lighting a fire at a time they knew students were sleeping and intentionally barricaded escape routes. Pre meditated murder.
@ephraimnjegafan I have made peace with the fact that some of us, even the most educated, are very logical when talking about economy and governance but "mtu wetu" mentality clogs their brains.
Nearly half of Kenya’s projected FY 2026/2027 budget will go to debt servicing instead of development.
Out of the Ksh 4.82 trillion budget, taxpayers will pay approximately Ksh 2.3 trillion toward debt obligations, including Ksh 1.3 trillion consumed purely by loan interest payments before meaningful development spending even begins.
Under Kenyan law, debt repayment is a “first charge” on national revenue. Creditors are paid first, before hospitals, schools, counties, agriculture, or public services.
At the same time, Kenya continues borrowing heavily to repay maturing loans and cover budget deficits. The public debt has now risen to approximately Ksh 12.4 trillion, while ordinary citizens continue facing unemployment, high taxation, failing services, and rising economic hardship.
Kenyans must ask:
Who borrowed this money?
Were all these loans borrowed procedurally as per the constitution?
Who benefited?
Why should citizens repay debts arising from corruption, secrecy, inflated contracts, and mismanagement?
An odious debt is not a people’s debt. It is a regime debt.
This constitutional and economic battle continues in court.
The matter comes up on 25th June 2026 at the Milimani Law Courts.
Kenyans must remain vigilant. This fight is about economic justice, accountability, and the future of our Republic. #DeniBandia #OdiousDebt #ReKe
