You Will Be Jailed, Not Today, But In The Future, Because of What You are Doing Now, Ruto Warned

-

Wednesday night show "The Big Conversation" on Citizen TV played host to several political panelists key and vocal among them being Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah.

'The Peoples' Court Protector' issued a simultaneous warning and caution telling the Country's head to shy away or completely desist from policies that are open and widely contrary to the Constitution of Kenya.

While articulating on the Finance Bill 2024, he stressed continuous ignorance of guiding legal document passed to him on inauguration day may eventually serve to put him behind bars when power isn't within his reach.

"Consider the number of ex-presidents jailed where you are now because of how rogue they went by while discharging their mandate" Omtatah came in.

"We have a Constitution in this country, it contains provisions for punishing these people (the administration). "There will come a moment when we will imprison them for what they are doing today," stated Omtatah.

"While President Ruto is in South Korea, he should consider how many former South Korean presidents have served time in prison. As much as he admires South Korea, he must equally acknowledge that there were 'renegade' presidents who were imprisoned. So, does President Ruto want to go to jail after he leaves office? This is the question he should ask himself. He must obey the Constitution; there is no other option."

The People's senator described the ongoing Finance Bill, 2024 debate as the government's effort to divert or a means to keep Kenyans from focusing on the alleged stealing that is taking place and buried deep in the budget.

According to him, Kenyans should disregard the Bill for the time being and keenly focus on what he terms "budget corruption," which would cost the country almost Ksh. 100 billion.

"In discussing this (Finance) Bill, I would like everyone to go to the Treasury's website; you'll find five books there that contain budget estimates of the current government, which we're supposed to be discussing, but instead we're being led astray to discuss the Finance Bill, which is premature; you can't have a Finance Bill without a budget to finance," he said.

"It's around 4,500 pages long, and I've read through them all. On my first reading, I discovered that about Ksh.100 billion is being taken in two products. One is on debt payback; there's roughly Ksh.40 billion there that you can't explain, which is double repayment."

He went further to say, "When you come down, there are additional things called 'other expenses.' The legislation demands that all items be identified. So you can't have 'other expenses,' so inform us that Ksh.10 is going to buy a glass. So 'other expenses' refers to budgeted corruption. "Other expenses have been allotted Ksh.52 billion, for a total of Ksh.92 billion."

Do you subscribe to Omtatah's views?

Kenya's Double Life: The Nation We See vs. The Tribes We Know

It is worth noting that our nation has had a tremendous change in all aspects and spheres that your mind can conjure. The question is whether they are positive or negative. My centre of attention shall focus on our nation's double life, especially our Identity dilemma. This has been a discussion on today's morning break on Citizen TV. I will go ahead and talk about our country and its ethnic identity question. Today, when you mention the name Kenya, it evokes images of breathtaking wildlife, landscapes and not to forget our beautiful and talented marathon athletes who have relentlessly and continuously made us proud, not just locally but on the world map. But scratch beneath the surface, a complex question emerges, one that has quietly simmered for decades: Is Kenya still ethnic-based? Or is it a nation truly forging a single, unified identity? This issue is deeply ingrained and permeates every part of Kenyan life, from the boardroom to the voting booth. It is not merely a scho...

Among the mourners were, ODM Secretary General and Nairobi's senator, Edwin Sifuna, his Kericho counterpart, Aaron Cheruiyot together with local mourners. Politics took center stage and it was all ODM, UDA and Kenya Kwanza administration talks. It became interesting when Sifuna rose to the podium to express his sorrow to his colleague for losing a parent. He said the following: "I am Sifuna and I will speak as party's Sec Gen, am here to mourn the mother of my friend. In this space, I would also like to pass a reminder and inform you that we have strategies that we will employ to reject the finance bill knowing very well the constraints that you go through as a result of the harsh economy. I have written close to 86 letters to our members informing them not to go anywhere outside of Nairob...
