Why Omtatah Wants 3 Court of Appeal Judges Removed — Hon. Justice Luka Kimaru, Hon. Justice Sila Munyao and Hon. Justice Dr. Johnson Okoth Okello
Omtatah filed a constitutional petition challenging the Kenya-US Health Cooperation Framework (signed 4 Dec 2025), raising concerns on sovereignty, health data privacy, parliamentary oversight, and financial obligations
The High Court granted conservatory orders on 19 December 2025 stopping implementation pending hearing
The Government appealed to the Court of Appeal to stay those orders
On 12 May 2026, the three judges stayed the High Court orders but refused to give reasons at that point
They deferred reasons to 30 October 2026 — nearly five months later
The order took immediate effect, but its legal basis was withheld
Why Omtatah Considers This Unconstitutional
✅Without written reasons, he cannot meaningfully appeal to the Supreme Court
✅The Supreme Court itself has held that reasoned judgments are prerequisite for effective appellate review
✅His constitutional right of appeal under Article 163(4)(a) is rendered practically ineffective
Consequential Harm
✅The contested framework is already being implemented (e.g., US Ebola isolation centre in Kenya)
✅By October 2026 when reasons arrive, consequences will be irreversible — data transferred, fiscal commitments made, regulatory arrangements changed
What He Is Asking JSC to Investigate
✅Gross misconduct
✅Breach of the Judicial Service Code of Conduct and Ethics
✅Violation of constitutional rights to fair hearing and access to justice
✅Conduct in bad faith outside judicial immunity protection
✅Alternatively — incompetence for failing to apply binding Supreme Court precedent

A whistleblower has shared information with us about an alleged election-rigging scheme, reportedly involving an arm of the security forces.
We have spent days verifying the claims. So far, roughly 80% of the information has checked out.
Tomorrow by evening, I will expose some of the things we can verify here.
If even half of this is true, Kenyans deserve answers.
Be here tomorrow. Ensure you follow me -Sholla Ard.
We have to fix this country ourselves.

James Orengo is in Suba, Homa Bay today, the heartland of Gladys Wanga and John Mbadi.
The reception has been hard to ignore.
If Linda Mwananchi can gain traction in ODM's Wanga's own backyard, then what is really left of the old guard led by Oburu?
And unlike many political rallies, Linda Mwananchi is largely organic.
The ground is moving. The establishment just hasn't accepted it yet.

John Mbadi said the Finance Bill 2026 was removing taxes on phones and retaining only the new 25% excise duty.
But after reading the bill, I can confidently say Kenyans were misled.
The bill does NOT appear to remove Import Duty on phones, which is around 25% and one of the biggest taxes on imported phones.
What it clearly removes are IDF and RDL, which together are only about 4.5%.
At the same time, it increases the Excise Duty from:
10% → 25%.
So the government removes about 4.5%...
then increases another tax by 15%.
How exactly does that make phones cheaper?
And there is another catch.
The bill makes phones VAT EXEMPT, not ZERO RATED.
Those are not the same thing.
If phones were truly being freed from VAT costs, they would have been zero-rated.
Instead, VAT exemption can leave VAT costs that are ultimately reflected in the final price.
So under the bill;
Import Duty:
≈ 25%
New Excise:
25%
That is already about 50% before considering VAT-related costs.
Using a simplified illustration, the total burden can easily exceed 55% and approach 66%.
So again I ask:
If Import Duty remains,
Excise rises from 10% to 25%,
and VAT exemption replaces zero-rating,
How exactly are phone prices supposed to come down?
Read the bill yourself.

The court today issued orders halting the Ebola deal that would allow U.S. Ebola patients to be transferred to Kenya.
I can, however, confirm that despite the court order, activities related to the program are still ongoing in both Laikipia and Nairobi.
But here's the question: if the deal has truly been stopped, why are activities linked to it reportedly still ongoing?
It's also highly likely that on Tuesday, June 2, the court will lift the orders based on what we have learnt.
With Trump in office, Kenya walking away from it may not be as straightforward as many think.
Anyway, follow me here. More details on the way.

This afternoon, we will reveal evidence that a USAF C-17A Globemaster III cargo military aircraft (97-0046), using callsign RCH275, landed in Kenya today.
The C-17 is one of the largest military transport aircraft in the world. And it has to do with the Ebola-related deal Kenya signed
We tracked/followed the aircraft from the US to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, with records showing it touched down in Mombasa before proceeding to Nairobi, where it landed today.
I have independently verified the flight details. It was carrying materials related to the EBOLA station being set up in Kenya.
Its arrival raises fresh questions about reports that the US is moving ahead with plans involving Ebola patient transfers linked to Kenya despite public outrage and growing concern from many Kenyans.
I will continue monitoring all related movements, including planned flights from Uganda and activities in the DRC that our sources have already shared with us in relation to the planned patient transfer operation.
Follow me here -Sholla Ard- for updates. The next few days and weeks will be massive. With such evidence govt can never deny.
Evidence below 👇

@NPSOfficial_KE Script. The alleged “breacher” is a security detail of the President. Let us stop the urban games!

@generali_osumo Kenyan farmers need a good, prolonged strike.
They need to cripple the agribusiness sector.
That will sting.
Agri & bio diesel should be tax exempt.
Next time, they’ll be taken seriously but they also need to be weary of underhanded tactics like cheap imports to undercut.
