@DirectorKenito@NairobiGossips According to who??? Or from personal experience because why the fuck would you say something so stupid with such chest and finality????
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.
Kenya is not dealing with random criminals, I refuse to join such a chorus. We are dealing with a procurement system of violence with well known politicians as the buyers while the unemployed Kenyans are the commodity trading impunity as their currency!
The goons and criminal gangs have been allowed to run a parallel economy with well known buyers and sellers; until we prosecute the buyers, the market remains open!
As Civil Society Organizations, we will not fall under the pressure of such coercion and intimidation. We will call out these ills for what they are; outright defiance against our Constitution.
I stand with @dianagichengo, @TISAKenya and the entire Civil Society community.
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.

Ol Kalou voters are being bribed with cash, GOK mattresses and gas cylinders while state officials campaign with public resources.
That's bribery under Section 9 of the Election Offences Act, and abuse of office under Sections 14 and 15.
@IEBCKenya , @DCI_Kenya , @EACCKenya : act now. Target the offenders, not the voters.
Here is the joint statement that we made earlier.

Boss gave me a company credit card and nobody's noticed I still have it six months after quitting.
Found it in my wallet last week. Thought about cutting it up. Decided to test if it still worked first.
Bought coffee. Went through.
Checked the account online using my old login. Still active. Nobody deactivated anything when I left.
Transaction showed up under my name like I still worked there.
My roommate saw the statement.
Roommate: You're still buying coffee on the company card?
Me: Accidentally.
Roommate: How do you accidentally commit fraud?
Me: I forgot I had it.
Roommate: For six months?
Me: I don't use that wallet often.
Roommate: You need to return it.
Me: I know.
Didn't return it. Kept testing it.
Lunch. Gas. Groceries. Everything processed. Nothing flagged.
Started getting curious how long this could go. Monthly statements kept coming to my old work email that also never got deactivated.
Limit was five thousand dollars. I'd spent maybe three hundred.
My friend said I was playing a dangerous game.
Friend: They'll notice eventually.
Me: It's been half a year.
Friend: Doesn't mean they won't audit.
Me: You think they audit?
Friend: Every company audits.
They didn't audit.
Month seven, bought a new monitor. Four hundred dollars. Approved instantly.
Statement came. My name still listed as "Marketing Associate" even though I quit and they hired someone new.
Started wondering if I existed in two places. Quit in real life, still employed in their system.
Called the office pretending to need HR records.
HR: Employee ID?
Me: 4847.
HR: Marcus Webb. Still shows active.
Me: I quit in March.
HR: (typing) Not seeing termination paperwork.
Me: I sent an email to my manager.
HR: Did he submit the forms?
Me: I assumed so.
HR: Let me check with him.
She called back twenty minutes later.
HR: Your manager left the company in April. Looks like he never processed your resignation.
Me: So I've been employed this whole time?
HR: Technically yes.
Me: Am I getting paid?
HR: (long pause) Oh no.
Turns out they'd been depositing paychecks into an account I closed three years ago. Bank rejected them. Nobody followed up.
Six months of paychecks sitting in accounting limbo.
HR: We need to issue these payments and back-date your termination.
Me: Or?
HR: Or what?
Me: What if I just came back?
HR: You want your job back?
Me: Do I still have it?
HR: According to our system, you never left.
Talked to the new department head. Different guy. Never met him.
Him: Marcus? Heard you were remote.
Me: Something like that.
Him: You've been away for six months though.
Me: Medical leave.
Him: We don't have documentation.
Me: Previous manager mishandled it.
Him: (frustrated) He mishandled everything. Can you start Monday?
Started Monday. Same job, same desk, same login credentials that never expired.
Coworkers asked where I'd been.
Me: Extended leave.
Them: For what?
Me: Personal reasons.
They stopped asking.
Got my six months of back pay last week. Nineteen thousand after taxes.
Roommate: You accidentally took a six-month paid vacation?
Me: Nobody told me I couldn't.
Roommate: That's insane.
Me: That's corporate inefficiency.
Still have the credit card. It's legitimate now.
Bought coffee this morning. Completely legal this time.
Tastes exactly the same as fraudulent coffee.
Slightly less exciting though.
The High Court has ordered the Inspector-General of Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to jointly pay a university student Sh8 million for police brutality and a years-long failure to deliver justice.
The court found that police breached Allan Omondi's constitutional rights by assaulting and unlawfully detaining him during a 2019 incident near Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) on his way to the hostels.

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.
We have won!!!
The High Court has declared unconstitutional the Petition I filed challenging sections of the Computer Misuse & Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act, 2025!
Sec. 6 (1) (J) (a) has been declared unconstitutional!! The state can’t stifle Kenyans rights and freedoms to free speech!
A huge thank you to my advocates; George Sakimpa & Andrew Muge!
