The attempt by the Attorney-General and Treasury CS to halt this case is a diversion. The High Court has already affirmed jurisdiction, and Kenyans deserve answers on how nearly Sh7 trillion was borrowed and spent. Accountability cannot be outsourced or delayed the Constitution demands transparency, and we will not relent until every shilling is accounted for. The law cannot wait for a forensic audit to determine if the Constitution was violated.
THE SHYLOCK NEXT DOOR
You would never let someone use your ID to borrow money from a Shylock, then expect you to repay the loan. You would call it THEFT.
So why are we so quiet when it happens to our country?
Kenya’s public debt now stands at about KSh 12.8 trillion. This year, about 91 percent of the taxes we collect will go to paying debt, not improving hospitals, schools, roads, or supporting counties.
We feel it every day through higher taxes, delayed county funding, delayed and reduced capitation, struggling public services, and fewer development projects.
Debt is not the problem. Debt without clear results is.
Every Kenyan is paying for these loans. Every Kenyan has the right to ask one simple question.
What did we borrow all this money for?
Your name is on the bill. Your voice should be part of the conversation.

The fight to liberate Kenya from the chokehold of illegal, odious debt requires exactly this kind of patriotic innovation. We cannot pay for what we did not receive, and tracking it in real-time is a powerful weapon for public awareness.
Let us engage. Our youth must lead this vanguard for economic justice.
After more than 7 years of legal battles, Nipsey Hussle's two children have finally received their inheritances from his estate worth millions.
Blacc Sam multiplied the estates from 2M to 11M & then gave it to the daughter directly when she hit 17.
The question is not whether Kenya may belong to the IMF or the World Bank. The question is whether the Bretton Woods Agreements Act, a statute enacted at independence in 1963 may continue, after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, to authorise treaty implementation, borrowing, public expenditure, tax exemptions, and institutional immunities in a manner that weakens judicial control of public power, limits access to justice and information, and displaces the constitutional architecture of accountable public finance.
While the Act may have served a lawful purpose at the time of its enactment in 1963, its continued operation must now be assessed against the normative framework of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
To the extent that its purpose or effect is inconsistent with the Constitution, the provisions must be read down, adapted, or declared invalid.
Accordingly, even if the Act was constitutionally unobjectionable at independence, its continued effect in the post 2010 constitutional order cannot be sustained where it undermines or derogates from constitutional requirements.

Odious Debt is a legal reality. Under international law, when a creditor lends to a regime that loots the funds against the people’s interest, that debt becomes "odious." It is not the people’s burden to carry.
The @IMFNews claims it has no "political" mandate. But as a @UN agency, it has a Duty of Care. Funding a regime that bypasses Parliamentary oversight and ignores the Law makes the IMF an accomplice to constitutional subversion.
Article 201 of our Constitution, Public finance must be guided by transparency. Loans signed in secret, without public participation, are null and void ab initio.
We demand a Forensic Audit of every shilling borrowed. The law is not a rug to sweep failures under. 🇰🇪 #SovereignDebt #Kenya #DeniBandia
Media reported that an Mp & his wife, through their company, got a 1 billion plus contract to rehabilitate Mombasa road. They did a shoddy job and it had to be tendered afresh. Today Kenyans online are discussing how the director is able to afford ugly shoes worth 2 million
Yesterday was a day of service on two fronts.
In the morning, I appeared before the High Court in the case challenging the Kenya, US Framework Agreement on Health. This case seeks to safeguard Kenya’s sovereignty, uphold the Constitution, and protect the integrity of our public health system.
In the afternoon, I returned to court for the public debt case. The court delivered an important ruling, including striking the IMF from the proceedings on the basis of diplomatic immunity. While we respect the court’s decision, the fundamental constitutional questions surrounding Kenya’s public debt remain before the court, and we will continue pursuing transparency, accountability, and justice.
I had planned to join fellow Kenyans in commemorating the anniversary of the Gen Z movement and honoring those who paid the ultimate price on 25th June 2024. Regrettably, my court commitments made that impossible.
Yesterday was not only a day of remembrance. It was a solemn reminder of the courage of young Kenyans who stood for justice, accountability, good governance, and constitutionalism. We honor those whose lives were cut short, and we recommit ourselves to ensuring that their sacrifice was not in vain. The surest way to honor their memory is to continue defending the Constitution, protecting human rights, and demanding accountable leadership.
Although I could not be physically present, I was privileged to support the Nairobi CBD Medical Camp by donating bottled drinking water to help ensure that protesters, patients, medical personnel, and volunteers had access to safe drinking water throughout the day.
The struggle for constitutionalism takes many forms. Sometimes it is in the streets. Sometimes it is in the courtroom. Every peaceful and lawful effort strengthens our democracy.
I remain steadfast in this cause. We remember our fallen Gen Z heroes with gratitude. We honor their sacrifice through action. We will not relent until Kenya fully lives up to the promise of its Constitution.

Congratulations Senator @OkiyaOmtatah for this victory. I and @UGMParty laud you for your consistency in defending our Constitution.
This is a consequential ruling confirming that our Courts will audit all aspects of governance, including our finances and the question of national interest.
I share your views that there must be a transparent and public audit of our national debt to determine the extent to which it is odious.
Our shared vision as constitutionalists, is that all the architects and duty bearers of Kenya’s reckless debt binging since 2013, be they foreign or domestic, will not evade accountability.
It is worth recalling that in the FY 2026/2027 budget of KSh 4.82 trillion, approximately 48% (KSh 2.31 trillion) of the total expenditure framework is designated for public debt servicing. Essentially, nearly half of the budget is directly going to creditors, tightening the fiscal space available for development.
This is unsustainable.
The overriding national imperative, as we head to the 2027 general election, is to join hands and form an #Ukatiba government to deliver true national renewal.
2027 is an #Ukombozi moment from the chockhold of odious debt. Let us all unite and redeem our nation from predatory extractive forces.
The High Court has now allowed Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah's public debt case to proceed to a full hearing.
The case seeks to establish how Kenya accumulated trillions in public debt and how the borrowed money was used.
