Yesterday was a day of service on two fronts.
In the morning, I appeared before the High Court in the case challenging the Kenya, US Framework Agreement on Health. This case seeks to safeguard Kenya’s sovereignty, uphold the Constitution, and protect the integrity of our public health system.
In the afternoon, I returned to court for the public debt case. The court delivered an important ruling, including striking the IMF from the proceedings on the basis of diplomatic immunity. While we respect the court’s decision, the fundamental constitutional questions surrounding Kenya’s public debt remain before the court, and we will continue pursuing transparency, accountability, and justice.
I had planned to join fellow Kenyans in commemorating the anniversary of the Gen Z movement and honoring those who paid the ultimate price on 25th June 2024. Regrettably, my court commitments made that impossible.
Yesterday was not only a day of remembrance. It was a solemn reminder of the courage of young Kenyans who stood for justice, accountability, good governance, and constitutionalism. We honor those whose lives were cut short, and we recommit ourselves to ensuring that their sacrifice was not in vain. The surest way to honor their memory is to continue defending the Constitution, protecting human rights, and demanding accountable leadership.
Although I could not be physically present, I was privileged to support the Nairobi CBD Medical Camp by donating bottled drinking water to help ensure that protesters, patients, medical personnel, and volunteers had access to safe drinking water throughout the day.
The struggle for constitutionalism takes many forms. Sometimes it is in the streets. Sometimes it is in the courtroom. Every peaceful and lawful effort strengthens our democracy.
I remain steadfast in this cause. We remember our fallen Gen Z heroes with gratitude. We honor their sacrifice through action. We will not relent until Kenya fully lives up to the promise of its Constitution.
