Ol Kalou voters are being bribed with cash, GOK mattresses and gas cylinders while state officials campaign with public resources.
That's bribery under Section 9 of the Election Offences Act, and abuse of office under Sections 14 and 15.
@IEBCKenya , @DCI_Kenya , @EACCKenya : act now. Target the offenders, not the voters.
Here is the joint statement that we made earlier.

If we depend solely on mainstream media to tell us what matters, we will remain perpetually distracted while the country is picked clean. Just like the current ‘beef’ btwn WSR and Gideon.
We must be intentional & support independent alternative media, and keep our eyes firmly on the ball. Let them chase their clicks. We will continue to chase justice and accountability in the corridors of the courts and on the streets. Sauti ya mwananchi haitazimwa. Viva ✊🏾
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.

Tomorrow marks two years since young Kenyans who stood up against political tyranny were killed for it. Many others were maimed. They are living scars of our brutal political system.
Two things must be clear as we commemorate June 25th: First, the right to peaceful assembly and to picket is constitutional. The government is duty-bound to respect and protect it. It should not unleash goons or interfere. Second, government officials must desist from threatening citizens who are organising to exercise their rights and remember their departed loved ones. Kenyans, killed in 2024 and 2025, deserve justice.
Accountability must be followed with appropriate compensation and permanent memorialization. Cobbling together sham compensation is not justice.
Kenyans must be allowed to exercise their democratic rights, and never again should we witness abductions or forced disappearances.
Enough.
Tuonane kesho!

Statement of PAD leaders meeting in Stellenbosch
24 May 2026
The prosecution of opposition leaders who are fighting to democratise their countries has become a feature of African autocracies, intent on destroying democratic practices in favour of extending their rule through repression.
There are many cases, but three in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda stand out as flagrant abuses of court proceedings to unjustly prosecute leaders.
The treason trial of Tanzania’s Tundu Lissu has been taking place for over 400 days. His crime was to call for constitutional and electoral reforms ahead of the October 2025 election.
His party, Chadema, was barred from participating in those elections, which were openly rigged. Bereft of credible evidence and the appearance of secret witnesses in a special enclosed cell, the trial has made a mockery of legal practice.
Lissu, who was hit by 16 bullets in a failed assassination attempt in 2017, has been unable to have the medical treatment he requires as a result of this brutal assault since his trial began.
In Uganda, Dr Kizza Besigye is being tried in a military court after his arrest in November 2024 – more than 540 days ago. Dr Besigye was prevented from participating in Uganda’s rigged election of January 2025, which saw the leading opposition figure,
Bobi Wine, denied victory in a rigged election.
Wine has since fled the country, fearing for his life. Dr Besigye’s trial, which began as a military tribunal, follows a familiar pattern. The state has attempted to get witnesses to testify in secret and has dragged the trial on despite Dr Besigye’s poor health.
In Rwanda, opposition leader Victoire Ingabire was arrested in June 2026 on the farcical charge of creating a criminal organisation and inciting public disorder because she challenged the ongoing trial of other opposition activists.
Along with nine members of her political party, the Development and Liberty for All (Développement et Liberté pour tous or Dalfa-Umurinzi), she has been charged with establishing or joining a criminal organisation, inciting public unrest or disturbances and various other offences, all of which she denies.
Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda present themselves as progressive countries that embrace democracy in one or another form. The reality is that these countries are led by increasingly tyrannical authoritarians that have no tolerance of opposition and are willing to abuse their courts to remove those who criticize them from public life.
This lawfare against democracy is condemned in the strongest possible terms by democratic African leaders who are trying to build a continent where accountability, the rule of law and the respect for human dignity are paramount.
We call on the international community to join us in demanding the cessation of these farcical legal proceedings and the immediate release of these leaders. We call on the authorities to see to it that proper medical attention is provided to Tundu Lissu and Dr Kizza Besigye, who are ill and require regular medical treatment.
These developments in the East Africa region should be of great concern for those who count themselves among its leaders, particularly with ongoing instability in Somalia,
Sudan and Ethiopia.
The leadership that addresses democratic regression and the erosion in the rule of law will place itself on the right side of history.
The fight for democracy in Africa cannot be stopped by the actions of tyrants determined to hold onto power.

That the Coast is not getting its fair share of development under this government is clear as night and day.
What is so embarrassing is that despite the outright discrimination, Coast leaders are still bootlicking.
Chukueni kura wapwani na Wakenya wote. Change must come!
See clowns.
Your government just borrowed 174B on your already battered pockets, fuel is unaffordable, a bill to privatise water is in the works, another bill to tax free hold land and an even more punitive finance bill is getting passed.
Your cost of living is unbearable, but your salaries have remained constant since 2020.
But yes, let's celebrate arsenal team winning a trophy.
Give them bread and circus and they will never revolt.
