Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has expressed optimism that Kenya will one day realise a vision where justice prevails and integrity is restored.
The lawmaker, while thanking Kenyans for their “unwavering support” in the journey toward a better tomorrow for the nation, said a Kenya where justice prevails is a vision many have longed for.
“One day, we shall hold accountable those involved in corruption. Their actions cannot go unchallenged, and we are steadfast in our commitment to ensure that they face the consequences of their deeds,” he said.
Omtatag further added that one day Kenya shall recover all assets that have been wrongfully acquired through corruption.
“These resources rightfully belong to the people of Kenya, and we will reclaim what is ours to build a brighter future for all,” he said.
“One day, we will follow the rule of law to the letter, ensuring that every citizen, regardless of status, is treated equally and justly under the law. Transparency and accountability will become the cornerstones of our governance,” he added.
Omtatah urged Kenyans to remain resolute and united in this pursuit of justice.
“Change is within our reach, and with our collective courage and determination, we will pave the way for a corruption-free Kenya,” he stated.
Omtatah has been seen by many as the country’s public defender number one, who has filed some of the biggest public interest cases that have shaped the economy and political landscape.
He has been a thorn in the flesh of the government for years.
His quest for a just society has seen him get into trouble with law enforcers, persevering beatings and lockups. At one point in 2012, he lost four incisors after an attack that was blamed on goons.
His critics accuse him of being a hired gun and taking money to represent the interest of some powerful individuals, corporations and organisations, an accusation he has always dismissed.
