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.

The cat is out of the bag. Finally!
All the hullaballoo about Ebola and all that was a smoke screen to create a transit passage for minerals from the DRC and the region to the USA...unbelievable.
The imperialists have found a perfect stooge in Africa. There will be a backlash
I documented all meetings between President Ruto and Wicknell Chivayo since he started posting publicly on Twitter. This was 5th January 2025 (I think this is Eldoret or Sugoi).
Throughout the 43-County #UkatibaCaravan, wananchi were clear: corruption has reduced them to desperate beggars in their own country.
The extractive system has stripped millions of Kenyans of their dignity and their humanity.
At one of our stops, a visibly angry man was handed a microphone and asked what he would like the Maraga government to do for Kenyans. He uttered just two words: “FungaRuto.”
Read my full statement here:
Kenya loses an estimated 3 billion shillings daily to corruption. Driven by reckless borrowing, public debt has surged to nearly 13 trillion shillings, crippling private enterprise and consuming 48% of the FY 2026/27 budget for repayments.
By securitizing future tax revenues, the regime is unconstitutionally mortgaging the future of Kenyan youth. We must halt this economic exploitation and restore financial accountability.

Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.
To reduce risk, best solution is for them to leave.
We prefer language of diplomacy but speak other languages too.

Future Kenya will be built by young men and women who choose service over self-interest and action over apathy. That was my message at Multimedia University today, where I was a keynote speaker at their Youth Leadership Conference.
I reminded the students that the destiny of Kenya is in their hands. How they will exercise their right to vote and who they choose to lead will shape the future of our country.
I urged them to register as voters, participate actively in the 2027 elections, and offer themselves for leadership through the @UGMParty #Ukombozi
It feels like Earth was designed perfectly for us, rain falling from the sky, food growing from the ground, yet somehow we’ve built a world where people need good credit scores, multiple jobs, and 40-hour workweeks just to survive
Kenya's cabinet secretary for health is asking for USD 20 million (KSh2.6 billion) to prepare for the first 100 Ebola cases.
Which Ebola cases? From where?
