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.

There is a deliberate narrative being pushed that Kenyans are wave driven, are easily excited and easily distracted. That narrative is not analysis. It is strategy. It is meant to make you doubt your own judgment and to shift attention away from substance.
The cost of living remains high. Taxation has reduced the value of the payslip. Families feel it every month. Small businesses feel it daily. Public debt continues to burden the economy. The SHA system has faced serious operational challenges, leaving many uncertain about access to healthcare. We wake up to reports of corruption and misuse of public resources with alarming frequency. These are lived realities.
Kenyans are evaluating leadership against clear standards, Integrity, Courage and
Consistency. That is democratic maturity.
The claim that citizens “leave” reform voices is designed to fragment genuine alternatives and protect the status quo. If people believe reform efforts are temporary hype, they may hesitate to invest their time and energy. That hesitation benefits those already in power.
Over the next months as 2027 General Elections approaches, political realignments will happen. That is normal in a democracy. What must remain constant is your standard.Demand results. Demand integrity. Demand accountability.
The Kenyan voter is informed. The Kenyan voter is aware. The Kenyan voter is watching. #GetitDone #ReKe
I have filed a Constitutional Petition No. E757 of 2025 in the High Court to defend the integrity of Kenya’s presidential election process and to uphold the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
This petition challenges the unconstitutional establishment and operation of the National Tallying Centre during presidential elections, as well as Sections 39, 39(1C), 39(1G) of the Elections Act and Regulation 83(2) of the Elections (General) Regulations.
The Constitution is clear:
✔️ Presidential results are tallied, verified, and declared at the 290 constituencies, and those results are final and binding.
✔️ The role of the @IEBCKenya Chairperson under Article 138(10) is strictly clerical; to add up constituency results and declare the winner.
❌ The Chairperson cannot verify, re-tally, alter, or overturn any constituency result.
❌ No law or regulation may introduce a second layer of verification at county or national level.
Yet, current laws and @IEBCKenya practice unlawfully create a parallel system of verification at the National Tallying Centre, which:
• Treats final constituency results as provisional;
• Enables interference, manipulation, and delays;
• Undermines transparency and fuels mistrust;
• Violates the people’s sovereign will as expressed at the constituency level.
This petition seeks, among other declarations:
🔹 Abolition of the National Tallying Centre as currently constituted;
🔹 Quashing of unconstitutional provisions in the Elections Act and Regulations;
🔹 Immediate public posting of final constituency results at each constituency;
🔹 Removal of illegal verification powers from County Returning Officers and the IEBC Chairperson;
🔹 Restoration of strict compliance with Articles 86 and 138 of the Constitution.
If successful, this petition will fundamentally transform the management of presidential elections from 2027 onwards, ensuring a transparent, decentralised, and constitutionally faithful process with no “Bomas drama” and no ambiguity.
Our democracy must be anchored not on improvised systems, but on the letter and spirit of our Constitution. This petition is part of my continued commitment to defend the rule of law, protect the sovereign will of the people, and secure free, fair, and credible elections.

This morning I attended to this 26-year-old man.
For the past 1 month, he has been having inexplicable thirst and urination.
He drinks too much water and urinates a lot.
Last week, he went to a local hospital and was diagnosed with Diabetes, and then given drugs to swallow
• Metformin
• Glibenclamide
• Empagliflozin
• Atorvastatin
His weight is 93 kg.
Today, I measured his blood glucose, and despite him being on those medications, the reading was high at 14.4 mmol/L.
In the hospital, he went, nobody told him anything about diet. He was just given medication and told to come back after 1 month.
I have done the following,
• Discussed and modified his diet.
• Given him a physical workout schedule.
• Discarded all those drugs but retained Metformin and Glibenclamide as a single dose (Glucomet-N) for 2 weeks.
• Advised him on daily Fasting Blood Glucose results sent to me every morning at 9 am.
I will review him after a month.
When I sensitise you to take care of your health, you think you are too young to suffer from Diabetes or Hypertension.
"We shall all die."
Why didn't this young man sit at home and wait to die, since "we shall all die?"
Stop being mediocre and start forging discipline.
Hospitals are in business, and your health is the commodity on sale.
Kenya is not in Egypt, we're in Babylon. Our captivity is corruption and betrayal. We don’t need a Joshua. We need a Nehemiah to rebuild the temple—our Constitution. Okiya Omtatah is that Nehemiah: wise, strategic, and chosen to restore our nation.
Please don’t confuse a diet used to treat severe, life-threatening, treatment-resistant brain conditions with a weight-loss plan.
The name might be the same, but the purpose, mechanisms of action, and what’s at stake for the patient are very different.

Using metabolic therapies, and particularly ketogenic therapy, I have been able to completely come off all of my psych meds in less than a year.
I was told once that I would probably need to spend my life in a psychiatric institution, nevermind not needing to be on antipsychotics and various other psych meds for the rest of my life too.
I am the healthiest I have ever been, free of symptoms of my schizoaffective disorder, and kind of blown away by how much my experience of my illness and of my life has changed over this last year.
