Omtatah says truth and conviction will defeat propaganda and money
Human rights activist and Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has once again reaffirmed his commitment to championing truth and justice, insisting that genuine conviction and public trust will always triumph over money and propaganda.
In a powerful statement shared via his official X account on the night of Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Omtatah said that when the youth align with truth and justice, no digital algorithm or financial muscle can suppress the resulting movement.

“When the youth connect with truth, no algorithm or budget can beat that. Conviction is the new currency. We don’t need deep pockets to speak the truth. When conviction leads and the people believe, no amount of propaganda or money can stop a movement grounded in justice. #TeamOkiya we march on!” Omtatah stated.
The senator’s remarks come at a time when a growing number of young Kenyans have taken to social media and the streets to demand accountability from government leaders and institutions.
Omtatah, who has positioned himself as President William Ruto’s potential competitor in the 2027 General Elections, has been a prominent voice in this space, known for his consistent legal activism and willingness to challenge unconstitutional policies through the courts.
Omtatah on Ruto
Omtatah’s recent remarks come days after he declared that President Ruto is unfit to seek a second term in office, citing what he termed as repeated violations of the Constitution and a dismal record in office.
Speaking on a local media station on Monday, July 14, 2025, Omtatah said the President should not assume his return to State House is guaranteed in 2027, aligning his remarks with a growing opposition narrative that Ruto must be a one-term president.
“Yes, he was elected to serve one term. Everybody’s elected to serve one term, renewable. But we are saying that for the president, his answer sheet, his grades are so bad, he cannot be given a second term,” Omtatah stated.
Accusing Ruto of breaching the Constitution, the senator emphasised that Kenya operates as a republic, where constitutional adherence should determine electoral eligibility.
Guided by this, Omtatah insisted Ruto’s actions disqualify him morally and politically from seeking re-election.
“He is ineligible for a second term because he has violated the cardinal law. And for me, that cardinal law is the Constitution,” Omtatah asserted.
