In January 2025, the Ministry of Finance and National Treasury authorized the withdrawal of KSh 19.7 billion from the Consolidated Fund under the vote “State Officers’ Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous.”

Evidence shows this money was unlawfully diverted to a broker, disguised as repayment to creditor banks, and executed without parliamentary approval. Gazette Notice No. 1864 confirms it was charged under “Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous”, not “Guaranteed Debt” as claimed. This was no clerical error, but a deliberate misclassification.

The guarantee itself was illegal. By law, guarantees can only fund capital projects. This was for working capital, a purpose expressly barred. Kenya Airways was also ineligible for a guarantee and the payment breached financial regulations by going to a broker instead of creditor banks, raising the gravest red flags of possible siphoning.

Even the justification collapses. Kenya Airways’ own audited accounts for 2024 show a profit of KSh 19.812 billion, meaning it had the capacity to repay its debt without taxpayer intervention.This was not a rescue. It was calculated theft, aided by misleading documents designed to deceive Parliament and the public.

I will not stand by while the national purse is looted. We shall be a shield for every shilling and defenders of the people’s trust. Kenya deserves leaders who guard public resources as sacred, who serve with integrity, and who put the nation first. Together, we can build a country where truth and justice prevail.
