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.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Does anyone else notice that no matter how many folks are posting about the Epstein files, it never trends on X?
I cannot believe this is happening in Coweta County!
Family homes are being stolen all for massive data centers that the people of Coweta County don’t want to be built!!!
Are we not a free country anymore??
I will be shocked if we ever get an Attorney General willing to prosecute these crimes
But the Congressman who led the charge to expose the files needs to win his re-election, or else the rest of Congress will assume they’ll be kicked out of office if they ever speak up about this, too https://t.co/Vvci3iQUFt
Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.
“It’s bigger than Watergate.”
“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”
“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”
“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”
“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”
“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”
“And some of them took that deal.”
“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”
“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”
“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”
@RepThomasMassie@MassieforKY@Local12
Thomas Massie: “The Epstein class is above party.”
“They don’t associate as Republicans or Democrats.”
“They’re above judges.”
“They’ve got visa waivers.”
“They fly private planes.”
“They don’t mingle with the public.”
“John Paulson, one of the three billionaires who’ve [funded my opponent], was in Epstein’s phone book.”
“He also was implicated in these files as … reaching out to Jeffrey Epstein to get money from him to honor Howard Lutnick.”
“It’s a really small world when you get into the billionaires.”
“And they’re not partisans.”
“My hat’s off to Marjorie Taylor Greene for taking on those threats.”
“Lauren Boebert … they took her into the situation room and tried to whip her into taking her name off of the discharge petition.”
“And then the President vetoed a bill that would’ve brought water to a large portion of Colorado over Epstein.”
“It’s not just about Lauren Boebert.”
“Why are people in Colorado deprived of water because their representative wants to expose a sex trafficking ring?”
Tucker Carlson: “Why do you think Epstein, of all issues, is the one that Donald Trump was willing to destroy his presidency over?”
Massie: “The people who are funding the ballroom, the people who are funding the arch, the people who are funding the rebranding of the Kennedy Center, these are the people who are also funding my opponent.”
“These are the people who have the ear of the President.”
“These are the people who are dominating our foreign policy decisions.”
“And these are also the same people who are in the Epstein files, by large part, or their friends are.”
This is the issue that pushed Trump and the Epstein class to spend $10 million desperately trying to defeat Massie.
And the race is closer than you think.
His campaign needs all of our help right now to survive.

The illusion of replacing leaders
2002: “We just need to replace Moi.”
Nobody cared about fixing the system.
2007: “We just need to replace Kibaki.”
No talk of systemic change
2022: “We just need to replace Uhuru.”
Infact vote Ruto to punish Uhuru
2027: “We just need to replace Ruto.”
Same illusion. Anyone but Ruto!
2032: “We just need to replace whoever”
A broken system eventually reproduces the same outcomes, no matter who sits at the top.
Can we discuss how we can reform the broken system atleast?
🇺🇸BREAKING: Someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 AM.
70 minutes later Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal.
Oil dropped 12%.
The trade made $125 million in profit.
Minutes after that Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil surged 8%.
$760 million placed before Trump’s last announcement.
$920 million placed before this one.
Every major announcement in this war has been front-run by someone who knew it was coming.
What kind of war is this?
This is more like a trading desk with an army.
Never stop connecting the dots.
@ClassicLearner What’s crazy the villainized Andrew Jackson’s as being the most racist president and I grew up hating him. Not knowing that he was literary trying to preserve and fight for Americans.
Reminder: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the rich people in the world are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.
Let's make this go viral 👇
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
Her: What are you thinking about
Me thinking about how during the Oklahoma City Bombing Timothy McVeigh supposedly alone parked one Ryder truck full of ammonium nitrate fuel oil outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and that single explosion somehow took out reinforced concrete columns (designed to withstand that exact explosion) which killed 168 people but seismographs at both the Omniplex 4.3 miles away and in Norman 16 miles away recorded two distinct low-frequency wave trains about 10 seconds apart (like demolition sequencing) and also local news reported additional bombs found and removed from inside the building for hours afterward but then the FBI stepped in and shut it all down and then key witnesses and investigators just kept dying mysteriously like when Kenneth Trentadue (identical to John Doe #2) got arrested on a minor violation and was then found dead beaten slashed and hanged in a suicide-proof federal cell and then the inmate who witnessed his death and blamed the guards hanged himself too and then the national hero first responder who pulled survivors out and said it wasn’t what they were claiming was found with slashed wrists and arms and neck and shot in the head and dumped in a field (ruled a suicide) and then they demolished the rest of the building in the middle of the night and hauled away all the evidence (including the Whitewater files) and it just never got investigated again: Nothing babe
First uber driver after we’ve packed luggage for nanny:

Cancels, everything offloaded.
I say cool.
