Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka Exposes Kenya’s Debt Crisis
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has warned about the health of Kenya’s economy.
Musyoka accused Kenya’s Kwanza government of driving the country into a financial and governance crisis through reckless debt management and hidden efforts to privatize vital national assets.
He praised civil society organizations, like The Institute for Social Accountability (TISA) and Okoa Uchumi, for providing a “unvarnished picture” of how public finances are misused.
Kalonzo delivered the remarks at the People’s Audit Report unveiling in Nairobi on Monday, December 8.
He stated that this research represents Kenyans’ problems, stressing that the ever-increasing Ksh12.5 trillion national debt is no longer an imaginary and faraway amount, but a genuine burden on businesses, counties, and people across the country.

ACCOUNTABILITY NOW, AND KENYA IS NOT FOR SALE
Remarks at the Launch of the People’s Audit Report, Nairobi.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good afternoon.
Let me begin by thanking TISA, the Okoa Uchumi Campaign, and all the partners who have made today possible. Your presence here… pic.twitter.com/1pbphMp9pL
The Wiper leader accused the administration of borrowing excessively, inflating contracts, abandoning projects, and undermining critical oversight agencies.
Kalonzo stated that Kenya is currently witnessing efforts to sell off important national assets such as Safaricom shares, JKIA, and the Kenya Pipeline without transparency or public input.
“This is unacceptable. It is unconstitutional. And it will not stand,” declared Kalonzo.
Kalonzo dismissed similarities to Singapore, describing Kenya’s present government style as “Rutopreneurship,” which lacks the discipline, accountability, and zero tolerance for corruption found in Singapore’s economic model.
Kalonzo also touched on the government’s intolerance for dissent, suggesting that dissent was a necessary part of democracy that ought to be protected.
The Wiper leader then unveiled a five-point plan he claimed cannot wait, aimed at restoring Kenya’s fiscal stability.

This plan includes a transparent and people-centred debt restructuring process to cushion citizens from further economic shocks.
The opposition leader called for a Parliament empowered to provide genuine oversight, as well as the protection of constitutional offices such as the Auditor-General, Controller of Budget, and EACC from political pressure.
With 2027 fast approaching, Kalonzo stated that Kenya deserves leadership that treats public money with dignity, confronts corruption, and safeguards national assets for future generations.
“We can turn this country around, but only if we face the truth and act on it,” the Wiper party leader concluded. “Our children deserve a country that cannot be bought or sold.”
