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.

What is happening in #Albania is extraordinary. Despite the lynching campaigns and the massive attacks coordinated by the Prime Minister Rama and the government, citizens continue their mass #protests on the 24th day, demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and government
@MugambiNandi Kenya specializes in ad-hoc implementation of policies. Everyone MUST have a chance to dispute a fine in court. Why are Kenyans so happy to just lie down and accept abuse? Traffic rules are broken every single minute by bodas and matatus!
@amerix Mainstream media thrives on providing a constant stream of anxiety and dopamine. Mute the accounts that exist to regurgitate news and farm engagement.The feeling of helplessness is now more pronounced than ever. Focus on what you can control.
Kenya is crazy, I’m even starting to freak out.
Imagine getting the chance for a once-in-a-lifetime selfie and, instead of taking it with Emmanuel Macron, you choose Eliud Kipchoge instead.
@georgenjoroge_ This is terrible news George! Try out @indigo_carcare and experience what mobile detailing is. Feel free to leave an honest review after.
@LeeRussian I remember flying from JKIA one time, they flooded the toilets..a horde of them. Imagine my dismay to find out my flight was full of them: shouting in their disgusting language, zero social skills.
