Congratulations. But kila kitu ni mama kwani?
“Mummy I made it.”
“Mummy I’m now a doctor.”
“Mummy if you were here you’d be proud.”
Beautiful words.

Where is Daddy?
The man who sold the plot. The man who ate last.
The man who took those loans servicing them for years. The man who never posted a story about the fees he paid. The man whose name does not trend when the white coat is worn.
You let him age in a quiet house. You let him feel used. You let the man who carried the weight become the footnote.
A mother carried you for nine months. A father carried you for twenty years or more in his testicles.
Honor him. And, honor is bringing the old man to the front, not leaving him in the village while you pose with mummy’s memory.
Fathers do not ask to be celebrated. That is why they disappear because of mamas boys like you.
It’s time we also heard “Father, I made it”
Anything less is using the man who raised you. Smh.

BRIEF ON TODAY’S PROCEEDINGS IN THE ODIOUS DEBT PETITION AT MILIMANI HIGH COURT
This morning, the Milimani High Court did not hear the substantive Odious Debt Petition. Instead, the matter was adjourned to allow the Court to address multiple interlocutory applications seeking either to dismiss the petition unheard or to strike out some parties from the suit.
The key applications before the Court are as follows:
1) The Attorney General argues that, because the Government has directed the Auditor‑General to conduct a special audit of Kenya’s huge odious debt stock, the petition is premature and the Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain it at this stage. The AG therefore contends that the Court should await the outcome of that audit. The National Assembly supports the AG’s position.
2) The @IMFNews seeks to exit the case, invoking immunity under a treaty it signed with Kenya in 1963, which grants it absolute immunity before Kenyan courts.
3) The Former Auditor General Edward Ouk and the former Controller of Budget Agnes Odhiambo claim personal immunity, asserting that they acted in good faith during their tenure and therefore cannot be held accountable for any shortcomings.
4) The Current Auditor General FCPA Nancy Gathungu, CBS, and the current Controller of Budget Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o maintain that they cannot be sued in their personal capacities; only their respective independent constitutional offices may be parties to the suit.
Although the petitioners had fully responded to all the applications and were ready to proceed, the @IMFAfrica and other parties stated that they were not ready and requested seven days to respond to the petitioners’ rebuttals of their applications.
The Court then directed that all parties wishing to file any responses (replying affidavits and/or submissions) do so within seven days of today. The Court will thereafter peruse the documents and render its ruling on the applications on 25th June 2026.
To fast‑track the matter, the Court will deliver its ruling on the applications without orally hearing the parties. There will be no highlighting of submissions.
If any of the parties are struck out, they will be dropped from the case, and it may become necessary to amend the petition before it is heard on the merits.
Finally, if the AG’s application to strike out the case unheard is dismissed, the petition will proceed to be heard and determined on the merits. If the application succeeds, the matter will end there.
The petitioners are fully prepared and are doing everything possible to succeed in this epic battle against Kenya’s huge odious debt stock. Kenyan taxpayers deserve accountability and fiscal justice. We shall not relent. The petitioners will not be the first to blink. #ReKe #DeniBandia #OdiousDebtKenya
Senator Okiya Omtatah has taken the battle to the High Court with a petition that could change Kenya’s history.
Omtatah argues that of the Sh9.11 trillion borrowed between 2014 and 2024, only Sh2.57 trillion was legally approved by Parliament through Appropriation Acts. He alleges the remaining Sh6.54 trillion is "odious debt" money borrowed unconstitutionally, never appearing in any budget, and never benefiting the people.
The petition specifically targets USD 7.1 billion in Eurobond debt, asking the court to declare it null and void.
In recent sessions, the IMF has attempted to plead diplomatic immunity, seeking to be struck from the case. Omtatah’s team has countered this, arguing that an international organization cannot commit "economic terrorism" by funding illegal processes and then hide behind immunity to avoid accountability.
The Chief Justice has assigned a multi-judge bench to determine this case, acknowledging that the question of whether a nation can repudiate "illegal" sovereign debt is a matter of supreme public interest.

Breaking news: WE WON!

A generation raised on “vyombo za wageni” has grown into “usichome” adults.
They value a fake image more than accountability and would rather “tandika kitambaa” over uncomfortable things than confront them.
