Safina Party leader Jimi Wanjigi has launched a blistering critique against President William Ruto’s administration, warning that the country faces an imminent economic collapse driven by a staggering public debt crisis.
Speaking during a series of political engagements where he formally declared his candidacy for the 2027 presidential race, Wanjigi alleged that the government is borrowing money at an unsustainable rate to service what he terms “odious debt” inherited and expanded over the last decade.
The businessman turned politician argued that the current economic trajectory risks driving the Kenyan shilling into a historic freefall and triggering a total debt default if structural economic reforms are not enacted immediately.
Wanjigi stated that his upcoming presidential campaign under the Safina Party will focus on economic liberation rather than conventional regional alliances.
He noted that his platform remains open to issue-based coalitions intended to dismantle tribal voting blocs and fix the structural financial regularities within national treasury operations.
