Multiple reports say Kenya’s National Treasury has increased domestic borrowing sharply, taking domestic debt to about Sh862 billion and raising concerns about loan costs and oversight. The outlets report that the borrowing spree departs from the government’s approved Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy, which sets out how debt should be managed over the medium term. They also state that the Treasury increased borrowing without parliamentary approval, drawing scrutiny over whether the borrowing followed required procedures. One report highlights that the higher cost of the loans has pushed debt servicing to around Sh862 billion, indicating increased pressure on government finances. Another account frames the situation as an audit concern, describing the domestic debt level as a red flag. Across the sources, the central points are that domestic borrowing has risen rapidly, debt servicing costs are also high, and the Treasury’s actions are said to conflict with the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy and parliamentary authorization requirements. The reports present these issues as related but do not provide detailed figures beyond the cited domestic debt and debt servicing amounts.
