I love the way Ndu Okoh,and Ct Muga are framing their questions,this is so simple for any common Kenyan to understand.

In international law, odious debt, also known as illegitimate debt, is a legal theory that says that the national debt incurred by a despotic regime should not be enforceable. Such debts are, thus, considered by this doctrine to be personal debts of the government that incurred them and not debts of the state. We need to safeguard the future of this country and the future of those generations coming after us. We need to stop this.

This is an important contribution to this crucial conversation. On a personal note, amongst a certain group of Africans in the diaspora, we have been asserting this for 30 years! It is time to legally rectify this matter. We need to confront the debt holders/bond holders that are enslaving the government. They KNOWINGLY did not practice due diligence nor fiduciary duty in lending to despots, tyrants, failed states, etc. SECONDLY, governments in Africa have rarely been by the people and for the people. The same Lenders have roundly pointed this out for generations. They are. a stage on which to perform for the benefit of their Patrons. It is not legitimate government, but a charade SET UP BY THE PATRONS for the express purpose of making money (even money laundering) That is what many African governments have been with their Western Institution technocrats and lenders and policy writers- there for the purpose of Western Interests. Africa has matured and needs to discard this charade (clothing garment). It is time to dress up in authentic garments and dance to a tune set by her peoples. The bond holders and lenders can go chase the charlatans they lent to in their private capacity, as the governments shed that legacy as a NULL & VOID entity (like a corporation that goes out of business) and let her shareholders (the citizens) create a new entity of governance (a new corporation...so to speak). This must be done legally and even have place in International Affairs and circles - including the UN Security Council- and other fora. Europe did this quite recently, so it is not unusual (during the transition from their Empire's and Kingdoms, to the presently known "Nation-States"). Africans are NOT obligated to repay a cent or penny of the odious debt accumulated by past regimes since colonialism and so-called "independence".

It means you have no access to your cash, queue outside banks. I experienced it in 🇿🇼. Inflation was so high…you have to gabble you food down in a restaurant to avoid paying more. It is a very traumatising experience…

At this point I get lost because even the most learned with credentials have never contested what he tells us on live television. Someone, tell me something that I don't know. Educate me like a 2yrs old boy seeking clarification. Jimmy is a genius in my view. I stand corrected though.
