Fred Ogolla
Dr. Fred Ogolla is the leader of Operation Linda Jamii, a lobby group advocating for financial accountability and support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Kenya. He has recently been in the news for filing a petition to suspend the ongoing budget-making process for the 2025/2026 financial year, arguing that the government should first address over Sh698 billion in pending bills owed to various sectors. Ogolla emphasizes the need for the government to prioritize settling these debts, particularly to protect MSMEs that are struggling due to delayed payments.
