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.

@OkiyaOmtatah @McaTricky This is not acceptable and Parliament should play its role. We are being overtaxed while they are budgeting for corruption.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Kenyans are being asked to pay more taxes through the Finance Bill 2026, yet the 2026/27 Budget hides KSh 101.37 billion under a vague item called “Other Operating Expenses.” No programme. No purpose. No accountability.

Before taxing Kenyans another shilling, Parliament must clean up the budget. We cannot finance opacity with taxpayers’ sweat.

Last week on Thursday @OkiyaOmtatah,tried to raise an issue on the floor of the Senate where he was constantly interrupted on trivial matters,What he couldn't say on the floor of the senate we have on paper.
Here,

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Today in the @Senate_KE, I will substantiate how public money is being hidden and stolen in plain sight through budget lines labelled “Other Operating Expenses.” OVER 90 BILLION!

If salaries, utilities, travel, maintenance, fuel, training, procurable items, and other expenditures already have specific vote heads, what exactly is hidden under this vague and ever-expanding category?

Even more troubling, the Constitution requires parliamentary approval for all public borrowing. Yet billions are spent under opaque budget lines that escape meaningful scrutiny.

Kenyans deserve transparency, not blank cheques for wastage, mismanagement, and theft. Every shilling collected from taxpayers must be traceable, justified, and accounted for.

The era of hiding public funds behind vague budget descriptions must come to an end. STAY TUNED

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

For years, the Auditor-General has exposed billions lost through financial mismanagement and irregular expenditure. Yet accountability remains elusive.

I have formally sought a statement in @Senate_KE on the effectiveness of the @EACCKenya in acting on these findings. Kenyans deserve answers, action, and justice, not endless audit reports gathering dust.

Public money must serve the people, not the corrupt.

This is insane, no wonder roads and other facilities are deteriorating. Something needs to be done differently.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

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

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Because odious debt threatens powerful interests.

The moment you question who borrowed, who benefited, and why Kenyans must suffer for corrupt debt, you stop being “acceptable” to the political and financial establishment. Silence becomes a strategy.

But truth does not need favourable headlines to survive. The case is in court. The evidence exists. History will record who defended Kenyans and who defended debt cartels.

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

Kenyans are being told fuel prices can’t come down.

Now we’re learning through the Auditor general that over Ksh7 billion from the fuel levy was diverted to pay French contractors for a cancelled Mau Summit highway deal.

Money you pay at the pump, believing it will fix roads, is being used to clean up government blunders.

The Auditor General has flagged it.

This is the real problem in Kenya:
Leaders sign reckless deals.
Cancel them.
Taxpayers carry the bill.

No consequences.
No accountability.
Just more taxes, expensive fuel, and broken roads.

At what point do we say enough?

[Purity Mwangi🇰🇪 @PuritymMwangi]

This means Kenyan paid Sh7.3 billion from the fuel levy fund to compensate foreign firms over a cancelled highway deal, only for the project to later be handed to other firms. Meanwhile, wananchi are still paying high fuel prices, and poor roads remain a daily struggle. Hawa ni watu wa aina gani tulichagua?🤦🏾‍♀️

He's worked so hard just to make Kenya a better place.
I wish all of us had that spirit.

This. Let it sink in. There is no way we shall develop as a country with a president that hands out public money at His Will. HAIWEZI.

@komu36 @KURAroads @KenyaAirports @hon_Makau @Wavinya_Ndeti @KRB_Kenya @DavisChirchir8 @StateHouseKenya This has been the story, season in season out. The current size of drainage is not sufficient to handle the flows from airport and Syokimau. KAA have to reconsider this. The roads won't last under these conditions.
