The Busia Senator and Human activist Hon Okiya Omtatah has said Kenyans are paying for non-existent SGR loans.
The senator says that SGR was fully founded by Kenyans up to the tune of Sh 900.
“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.” He said in a statement.
The senator noted that corruption is theft, and that the only remedy for corruption in this country is the rule of law. “Let us stand up for this country.
He spoke this at the People’s Anti-Corruption Summit 2023.
“A day to come together and uncover the underlying roots of corruption within our nation.”
“We must audit our debts and pay those that benefitted us.
“Those that have not benefited Kenyans should be paid by those who benefited from it.
“If the unpaid debt is taking 70 per cent of our state budget, it then calls for a state of war.”
