Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has filed a fresh petition in court seeking to halt President William Ruto’s administration from incurring further loans or repaying new debts not authorised within the national budget.

The petition filed jointly with Dr Magare Gikenyi, activist Eliud Matindi, and six other petitioners, accuses the Executive of engaging in a rampant and unconstitutional borrowing spree that could plunge the country into a full-blown debt crisis.
