President Ruto has just confirmed what many Kenyans have always known, that under his leadership, development is not a right but a political bribe.

How do you suddenly discover over KSh10 billion for Ol Kalou only because a by-election is around the corner? Where was this money yesterday? Where will it be tomorrow after the votes are cast?

What Ruto is doing in ol-kalou is not development. It is the worst kind of political tokenism. It reduces the constitutional right to development into a campaign incentive.

Devolution was created to ensure every part of Kenya receives its fair share of resources, not to allow the President to dish out billions whenever he wants votes. That is an insult to the spirit of devolution and a dangerous way to run a country.

The people of Ol Kalou are wiser than that. They know the difference between genuine leadership and election season generosity.

The irony is that after throwing billions at the constituency, Ruto will still lose. You can buy headlines. You can hire crowds. But you cannot buy the trust of people who have already made up their minds.

The people of Ol Kalou are wiser than that. They know the difference between genuine service and last minute political gestures.

Their choice is not about who can promise the most at the eleventh hour. It is about who understands their struggles, carries their hopes and represents their aspirations.

That is why DCP's Sammy Ngotho has emerged as the leader in waiting

This by election will prove one thing. Development is a right, not a bargaining chip, and no amount of last minute spending will rescue a government that has lost the confidence of its people.

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.

Where does a President get tens of millions to hand out at political events while the country is choking on debt? This is an open insult to struggling Kenyans.

When you mention Odious Debt, the looters tremble. In just 4 years, Ruto has borrowed more than Uhuru did in 8. The silence of beneficiaries is deafening.

When three judges comprising a bench mandated to determine weighty constitutional issues STUMBLE over ORDINARY English words they are supposed to have written in a unanimous judgment, it raises serious questions on whether SOMEONE else, or some other people, WROTE the judgment being read for them. It tends to imply some impropriety, even if only subliminally.

On another matter, it makes no sense for Kenyan judges to spend hours reading hundreds of pages of submissions by the parties. It’s a waste of time and exposés analytical mediocrity. We can do with brief summaries because submissions are NOT EVIDENCE.

Lastly, judges should not refer to parties with useless political honorific like “His Excellency”. Parties must be treated equally, without CLASS HIERARCHY, hence “Mr.” or “Ms.” are adequate and appropriate.

@OkiyaOmtatah Just imagine how blind and dumb people are!!!? Just incredible how would someone in their right mind wouldn't support this....!!!

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

To those dismissing odious debt as theory, history says otherwise.

Mozambique challenged hidden loans in court. Ecuador audited and repudiated illegitimate debt. Iraq secured massive debt cancellation after Saddam. Cuba rejected colonial debt imposed without consent. South Africa resisted apartheid-era obligations tied to oppression.

Odious debt is not fiction. It is a principle backed by precedent, law, and the sovereign right of people not to finance corruption, repression, and theft.

Kenyans cannot be forced to repay debts they neither approved nor benefited from.

Some things will take me forever to understand. Why does a 1 and a half hour flight from Nairobi to Dar Es Salaam cost Ksh. 40,000 to Ksh 50,000 yet a 24 hour flight from Nairobi to China is Ksh 75,000. What exactly is going on?
Why does accomodation for one night at a four star hotel in Kenya cost Ksh 20,000 yet in China a four star hotel is Ksh 5,000 per night?
Why do borrowers in Kenya pay an interest rate of 18% to 22% for loans yet in China the interest rate is 3%. How will a kenyan company that is borrowing to expand its manufacturing technology or equipment compete with a chinese company that is borrowing 1 billion dollars at 3%?

@OkiyaOmtatah It's very true

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

Kenya has no legitimate debt, we’ve already overpaid by Ksh 3T. The Ksh 6.9T burdened on taxpayers is #DeniBandia. This Tuesday we face it head‑on at Milimani High Court. #ReKe #DrainTheSwamp
