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.

Gen Z has given me hope that Kenya without TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION, NEPOTISM & CRONYISM is possible. A Kenya that values all her children over TRIBE, CREED, CLASS, GENDER & AGE. A Kenya without political violence. A Kenya where Police don’t KILL or ABDUCT. A Kenya that you don’t need to bribe to get tenders from Government or bribe to be paid for unpaid bills. It was a Kenya that for long I believed it is a CANAAN that Baba Raila Odinga will lead us. Now that Baba was unable to lead us & Gen Z without a Leader have taken the baton, it saddens me that Baba wants to derail this transformative moment. Between Gen Z & Raila Odinga, I choose Gen Z. With the greatest respect for his hitherto contribution to our democracy, I hereby end my support for Baba that begun in 2005. I hope & pray Gen Z will lead us to Canaan in my lifetime. MY ALLEGIANCE & LOYALTY TO RAILA ODINGA ENDED TODAY .. ADIEU BABA!
Protestors demand the release of a fellow demonstrator in Nairobi's Kimathi Street, as anti-government protests resume across Kenya.

Nothing new under the sun!
In 2011, during the Egyptian Revolution,
Hosni Mubarak hired goons (baltagiya) to attack protesters. But the people eventually won. Mubarak resigned in 18 days.
They continued to protest, both online and on the streets. #RutoMustGo
My friend Yoeal Haille is missing. Last heard from 3pm jana. He was protesting at the World Bank. Was arrested and released at 3pm. At 7pm an almost copy pasted message went to his gf. He didn't come home that day. Phone seems off. WhatsApp single tick. If you’ve seen him, hola!
Amkeni ndugu zetu
Tufanye sote bidii
Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Nchi yetu ya Kenya
Tunayoipenda
Tuwe tayari kuilinda
