Thank you @gitweeta for sharing this. The paper you cite adds an interesting perspective to the growing debate on accountability and access to justice. I would be very interested in engaging with you further on this issue.
I am currently putting together a case in Kenya concerning the conduct, influence, and accountability of the IMF and World Bank. Your research and analysis could provide valuable insights. Please get in touch with me directly.
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.

@kahome_steve A question here ,based on KMRC’s first tranche in 2022 resulted in 480% oversubscription. i believe other sustainability bonds like Safaricom’s saw 100% plus oversubscription. Should investors expect partial allotments based on this reasoning.
I can write a clean requirements document. I can paste it into Claude Code. I can iterate on prompts and pull out a working output. The client can do the same. Anyone can. So the question every one of you needs to answer — honestly, for yourselves — is: what am I paying for?

They've engineered the silence because they fear you more than they fear any judge. An informed public is their worst nightmare. So read the filings. Track the hearings. Ask the hard questions. The @IMFAfrica@KeTreasury, @NAssemblyKE, and every pen that signed these loans must answer.
Some politicians waiting in the wings will not speak because they hope to inherit the same broken system. To those seeking office: this is a test of principle. You cannot inherit a system you refuse to question.
We don't need their headlines to know our rights. The Constitution didn't give us a voice to whisper. The front page isn't theirs to give. It's ours to demand. Stay loud. Stay informed. The law is on our side
