Court Sets June 25 Ruling in Okiya Omtatah Ksh 6.9T Debt Case

The High Court has set a ruling date for June 25 regarding a petition filed by several citizens, including Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, seeking to declare loans borrowed during former President Uhuru Kenyatta's tenure illegal. The petition challenges approximately Ksh6.95 trillion in public debt, arguing that a significant portion qualifies as 'odious' and should not be borne by taxpayers. The IMF has applied to exit the case, citing immunity protection signed with Kenya in 1963.
