Sunday, July 23, 2023 -Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah’s office in Busia County was broken into and electronics and other valuables stolen by unknown persons, at night.

The reports about this incident emerged on Sunday July 23 morning with confirmation that several important filing items had been stolen from the office on the night of Friday July 21.

Mr. Omtatah told a local channel that the goons ransacked his office before making away with computers as well as important electronics.

He went to report the matter to the area police but said no action was taken to recover the valuables stolen from him.

“I reported the incident on Saturday, July 22, but yet nothing has been done,” distraught Omtatah remarked.

Asked to comment about the cause of this attack, he lightly indicated that this could be something to do with his case against the Finance Bill 2023 or other State-related differences with him.

Omtatah is challenging the legality of the William Ruto’s Finance Act which has entered a third hearing and now at the Court of Appeal.

The said Act has since been suspended by courts as most Kenyans agree that it has high taxing measures that will make life much unbearable.

Omtatah is yet to reveal exact contents of the computers stolen from his office last Friday but highly likely the machines have important information on his court cases that include activism cases he has across the country.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the public litigant claimed that some individuals had offered him about sh 200 million to drop the court petition on the Finance Act.

“I have told them, my price is one, if you cannot govern vacate the office for those who can govern,” the Senator was quoted.

So far, the case has been set to be heard on July 28 by a three-judge bench constituted recently by Chief Justice Martha Koome.

The CJ has already appointed High Court judges David Majanja, Christine Meoli and Lawrence Mugambi to determine the petition. The bench will be presided over by Judge Majanja.

In the case, Treasury Cabinet Secretary CS Njuguna Ndugu told the court that the suspension of the Act is affecting government operations.
