What happened to the urgent need to quarantine Americans exposed to Ebola at Laikipia Air Base? Ama the minerals from Congo already left via the base?
Thought we were told this was an emergency that couldn’t wait..our guys were even ready to defy court orders 😳😳
So what changed? Has the emergency suddenly disappeared? Or was the urgency only there until whatever needed to happen had already happened?

Contrary to what we have been told, SGR was fully funded by Kenyans to the tune of Sh900 billion.
SGR did not cost Sh360 billion, and no money came from China. We want to know why we are “repaying” a loan for which no single cent came to Kenya.
Yesterday was a day of service on two fronts.
In the morning, I appeared before the High Court in the case challenging the Kenya, US Framework Agreement on Health. This case seeks to safeguard Kenya’s sovereignty, uphold the Constitution, and protect the integrity of our public health system.
In the afternoon, I returned to court for the public debt case. The court delivered an important ruling, including striking the IMF from the proceedings on the basis of diplomatic immunity. While we respect the court’s decision, the fundamental constitutional questions surrounding Kenya’s public debt remain before the court, and we will continue pursuing transparency, accountability, and justice.
I had planned to join fellow Kenyans in commemorating the anniversary of the Gen Z movement and honoring those who paid the ultimate price on 25th June 2024. Regrettably, my court commitments made that impossible.
Yesterday was not only a day of remembrance. It was a solemn reminder of the courage of young Kenyans who stood for justice, accountability, good governance, and constitutionalism. We honor those whose lives were cut short, and we recommit ourselves to ensuring that their sacrifice was not in vain. The surest way to honor their memory is to continue defending the Constitution, protecting human rights, and demanding accountable leadership.
Although I could not be physically present, I was privileged to support the Nairobi CBD Medical Camp by donating bottled drinking water to help ensure that protesters, patients, medical personnel, and volunteers had access to safe drinking water throughout the day.
The struggle for constitutionalism takes many forms. Sometimes it is in the streets. Sometimes it is in the courtroom. Every peaceful and lawful effort strengthens our democracy.
I remain steadfast in this cause. We remember our fallen Gen Z heroes with gratitude. We honor their sacrifice through action. We will not relent until Kenya fully lives up to the promise of its Constitution.

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.
