Kenya loses an estimated 3 billion shillings daily to corruption. Driven by reckless borrowing, public debt has surged to nearly 13 trillion shillings, crippling private enterprise and consuming 48% of the FY 2026/27 budget for repayments.
By securitizing future tax revenues, the regime is unconstitutionally mortgaging the future of Kenyan youth. We must halt this economic exploitation and restore financial accountability.

David Maraga: Fellow Kenyans, this is my personal pledge to you. I will not steal from you. I will not allow my family or friends to steal from you... If we succeed in confronting impunity and recovering stolen assets, we will reduce the cost of living.
The debt question Kenyans must ask is simple: Why does the debt keep growing every year despite billions already being paid? How do we borrow, repay, borrow again, and still sink deeper into debt?
This is why the conversation on odious debt can no longer be avoided.
One dangerous issue that must be addressed is the amendment to the Public Finance Management Act, which allowed the National Treasury to borrow outside the Consolidated Fund framework. Public borrowing must remain transparent, accountable, and subject to full constitutional oversight.
Kenyans deserve to know:
Who borrowed?
How much?
For what purpose?
Who benefited?
And why are ordinary citizens carrying the burden while public services continue to collapse?
A country cannot survive permanently on secrecy, debt, and taxation without accountability. #odiousdebt #DeniBandia
The latest propaganda being pushed around UDA and 2027 is very simple.
They want Kenyans to believe that the election is already gone, that Ruto will rig, that voting will not matter, that registration is useless and that the people should enter 2027 already defeated in their minds.
That is why you are seeing this “they will rig” line being sponsored and amplified everywhere, including by sections of the media that have become very friendly to this regime.
NTV itself has carried the framing of UDA leaders allegedly plotting to rig 2027, showing how loud this narrative has become in public conversation.
To be honest, the optics of serious, countrywide rigging are too heavy for this regime.
This is a government that cannot repair potholes, cannot manage fuel prices, cannot manage schools, cannot manage hospitals, cannot manage salaries, cannot even explain simple taxes without creating anger.
You really believe the same confused regime has the intelligence, discipline, secrecy and technical sophistication to manage a clean nationwide rigging operation without being caught?
Rigging a presidential election is not like bribing a few brokers in a hotel or manipulating a small party nomination. A national election has agents, polling stations, forms, constituency tallying centres, observers, media, screenshots, live streams, parallel tallies and millions of angry citizens watching every number. The moment Kenyans realize even one vote does not tally, this country will enter a crisis bigger than anything this regime can control.
That is why I believe this “he will rig anyway” chorus is not just a warning.
It is psychological warfare meant to kill voter registration, kill turnout and create apathy. It is also meant to make young people say, “Why vote if they will steal it?” That is exactly where they want you mentally.
The real answer is not to stay home but massive registration, massive turnout, agents in every polling station, parallel tallying, civic vigilance and zero fear.
Elections are not stolen from people who are awake, organized and watching every vote. Elections are stolen from people who were discouraged before the first ballot was even cast.
So don’t fall for the propaganda. The vote still matters, registration matters, turnout mattes and polling station vigilance matters.
Kenyans are overtaxed, with nothing to show for it.
1. Public schools are are crippled
2. No functional hospitals
3. Poor infrastructure
4. No public transport system
What are our taxes used for????
Yvonne Okwara: What do you think is the solution to the rising cost of fuel which drives many other products?
William Ruto: I think we need to look at taxes. Because in this country almost 50% of the cost of fuel is taxes.
4 years into office?......A lying machine!
Nearly half of Kenya’s projected FY 2026/2027 budget will go to debt servicing instead of development.
Out of the Ksh 4.82 trillion budget, taxpayers will pay approximately Ksh 2.3 trillion toward debt obligations, including Ksh 1.3 trillion consumed purely by loan interest payments before meaningful development spending even begins.
Under Kenyan law, debt repayment is a “first charge” on national revenue. Creditors are paid first, before hospitals, schools, counties, agriculture, or public services.
At the same time, Kenya continues borrowing heavily to repay maturing loans and cover budget deficits. The public debt has now risen to approximately Ksh 12.4 trillion, while ordinary citizens continue facing unemployment, high taxation, failing services, and rising economic hardship.
Kenyans must ask:
Who borrowed this money?
Were all these loans borrowed procedurally as per the constitution?
Who benefited?
Why should citizens repay debts arising from corruption, secrecy, inflated contracts, and mismanagement?
An odious debt is not a people’s debt. It is a regime debt.
This constitutional and economic battle continues in court.
The matter comes up on 25th June 2026 at the Milimani Law Courts.
Kenyans must remain vigilant. This fight is about economic justice, accountability, and the future of our Republic. #DeniBandia #OdiousDebt #ReKe
Unajua it’s very diabolical to see Kenyans so focused on looking for charisma in presidential aspirants and aura as if it helps them in any way..we don’t have that luxury sisi tunataka mtu atatufanyia kazi
