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.

SOLVING ALL OUR PROBLEMS
@polo_kimanii The big bang happened creating both time and space, if it didn't happen there wouldn't be time or space and this is not about nights and days
@MigunaMiguna Been asking that question since when the gov saw it fit to punish kerosene users so that they do not have to do their job of ensuring consumers are not exposed to adulterated fuels.
This goes back to serikali ya Uhuru
@citizentvkenya Diesel and Kerosene at par, what's the problem being solved by this.
There is a whole gov department the we pay as kenyans to make sure that fuel adulteration doesn't happen,
So we pay them n go ahead to punish pple who use kerosene for someone's else crime.
