It has never made sense to me why someone from a poor background would rise to the helm of leadership and not want to make life better for everyone. You fucking understand what it means to be poor. You know the struggle. You saw you parents hustle to feed, educate you. Fuck man.
Mr President you found public debt at Sh8.7 trillion. Today it is Sh13 trillion. That is Sh4.3 trillion added in four years. The Controller of Budget is telling Treasury to stop borrowing because we have smashed the 55 percent debt ceiling. You do not reduce a mountain by standing on it and announcing it is a hill. #DeniBandia #ReKe
If an African talks about centuries of colonialism and slavery, he has 'victim mentality'.
But Americans are told to "never forget" 9|11 — a single day of terrorism.
It is backwardness when Africans remember, but patriotism when Americans do.
Don't let them gaslight you o
I have been suspended from the @Senate_KE for three sitting days for REFUSING to withdraw the word “yapping” in describing the President’s ROADSIDE declaration on undocumented immigrants.
I respect the Chair, but I will not surrender the constitutional duty to speak truth to power.
Article 135 requires PRESIDENTIAL decisions made under the Constitution to be in WRITING , SEALED and SIGNED. A roadside utterance cannot acquire the force of law simply because it comes from the President.
If calling out UNCONSTITUTIONAL governance is punishable, then the greater danger is not the word “yapping”. It is the growing intolerance for accountability.
Three days outside the Chamber will not silence me. I will continue to defend the Constitution and the Kenyan people. https://t.co/PkvYwrBgq5
When Companies make decisions about where to put their investments, the dispute resolution regime in place is key because disputes arise all the time. The “Mambo Matatu, pack and go” approach where the President can just shut down your business is very bad for investment and consequently, job creation. It is why we in Linda Mwananchi insist on a return to the Rule of Law. Thats our Plan!
“Life Water Canada, hamuwezi kuja Mwingi Central mchimbie watu boreholes bila kuniambia… take your boreholes back to Canada.”
-MP Gideon Mulyungi
When a community is dying of thirst, a true leader asks: “Where is the water?”
A small politician asks: “Where is my credit?”
Only a special grade of political arrogance threatens to send clean water back across the ocean because no one staged a ribbon-cutting for his ego.
Why do some leaders treat life-saving relief as an assault on their personal monopoly? ~ src mutembei tv
THE PEOPLE MUST NOT REPAY ILLEGAL DEBT
Kenya’s people cannot be made to repay every loan simply because someone signed a document in the name of the Republic.
Before taxpayers are asked to pay, we must ask basic questions: Was the borrowing lawful? Were the constitutional and statutory procedures followed? Where did the money go? What was it used for? What public benefit did it produce?
And where #odiousdebt is alleged, we must ask what the lenders knew, or reasonably ought to have known.
Public debt is not a blank cheque. The Constitution, the law and the Kenyan people must come first.

There’s a reason they won’t push this as Grand Coalition, because they know very well this is the kind of coalition that has the potential to serve Kenyans, not their interests.
A Maraga, Omtatah and Sifuna led government has the potential to right so many wrongs in this country. That is exactly why the conversation will quickly shift to who can bring votes, who has numbers and who is “electable”, not because they care about Kenya but because they need politicians they can control and who will protect the very system that has looted this country for decades.
This idea that we need Person A, B or C because they will “bring votes” needs to end.
Go out there and campaign for the candidate you believe in, talk to your family, talk to your cousins, talk to your grandparents, form groups, have conversations, convince people… this is how democracies are won.
No one has a monopoly on votes in this country. As someone once said, THE VOTER IS THE KINGMAKER!!
Why are we waiting for the same political class that helped ruin this country to tell us which direction Kenya should take? Until we understand that the opposition is not a group of wealthy politicians fighting each other but you, the people, demanding better leadership, we will keep surrendering our power to those who have never had our interests at heart.
WANTAM!!
Mukwana pia anatuona kama matako yake. Last year in his statement, he said he left Central at 10pm and received calls from his colleagues regarding Ojwang's killing the following. Then yesterday we saw him at 1:16am walking like a penguin in that corridor of death.
Populist nonsense that we have said we will not tolerate again in this country. We want to see you do your job as a legislator, this is just UDA behaviour in another outfit.
The officers who arrested Albert Ojwang’ were briefing Eliud Lagat on everything, including their movements, yet Kenyans are now being asked to believe that the briefings suddenly stopped just before Albert was killed and that Lagat somehow became a complete stranger to the operation.
That story does not add up.
You cannot receive updates throughout an operation, follow the movements of the officers involved and then conveniently disappear from the chain of communication at the exact moment the operation turns deadly.
Kenyans are not stupid, and any attempt to isolate junior officers while Eliud Lagat is treated as though he knew nothing must be rejected.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Imagine a regular citizen sending a hit squad, getting named in a confession, and still sleeping at home. Unthinkable, right?
So why is Eliud Lagat still free?
Mukhwana confessed that the order was given by him to discipline Albert.
Arrest Eliud Lagat NOW.
Double standards must end today. Enough is enough!
What happened to the urgent need to quarantine Americans exposed to Ebola at Laikipia Air Base? Ama the minerals from Congo already left via the base?
Thought we were told this was an emergency that couldn’t wait..our guys were even ready to defy court orders 😳😳
So what changed? Has the emergency suddenly disappeared? Or was the urgency only there until whatever needed to happen had already happened?

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.
