The High Court has allowed Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah's petition challenging Kenya's public debt to proceed, dismissing attempts to have it thrown out.

• The case challenges approximately Sh7 trillion in public debt accumulated over the past decade.
• Key respondents include the former Auditor General, former Controller of Budget, the current Auditor General, and the current Controller of Budget.
• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was granted diplomatic immunity and struck from the case, but Omtatah plans a separate challenge to the Bretton Woods Agreements Act.
