Businessman and presidential aspirant Jimi Wanjigi has renewed his call for what he termed an “economic revolution,” arguing that Kenya must break free from unsustainable debt and policies that continue to burden ordinary citizens.
Speaking in Nakuru, Wanjigi said Kenyans had grown weary of political rhetoric and were demanding practical economic solutions to address rising living costs, unemployment and the country’s debt burden.
“Nakuru has spoken. Loud. Clear. Unstoppable. Kenya is done with empty political rhetoric. The time for an Economic Revolution is now,” he said.
Wanjigi further argued that Kenya should not continue servicing what he described as “odious debt,” maintaining that the country should reject financial obligations that do not benefit citizens.
“The people have made their verdict: odious debt must not be paid. We refuse to remain chained by economic bondage,” he said.
The businessman, who has previously advocated for debt restructuring and economic reforms, said the debate transcends politics and touches on the country’s future economic prosperity and sovereignty.
“This is bigger than politics. This is about freedom, prosperity and the future of every Kenyan,” he added.
The remarks come amid growing national debate over Kenya’s public debt levels, debt servicing obligations and the need for sustainable economic policies to support growth and job creation.
