Jimi Wanjigi Kenya’s economic plan| Why Kenya must not pay the Odious debt

Kenya’s economy is at a turning point — and Safina Party Leader Jimi Wanjigi says the time for real change is now.

In this exclusive Mambo Africa conversation from Jimi Wanjigi’s private office, Wanjigi breaks down Kenya’s debt crisis, the 2026/2027 budget, illegal debt, government borrowing, taxation, economic hardship, youth voter registration, and Safina’s plan to rescue the country from what he calls an economic ICU.

Wanjigi argues that the government is misleading Kenyans by focusing on the Finance Bill while hiding the real budget conversation: where public money is being spent. He says Kenya’s biggest problem is not just taxation, but government expenditure, debt repayment, and what he describes as illegal and odious debt that Kenyans should not be forced to pay.
