Uhuru’s appetite for debt to leave a huge hole in 2022 when his term ends
President Uhuru Kenyatta will accumulate nearly Sh2.13 trillion in more national debt by the time his final term ends in August 2022, Treasury projections show, signalling increased pressure on taxpayers’ funds.
Treasury chiefs project in a draft Budget Review and Outlook Paper that the total debt will jump to nearly Sh7.17 trillion in the year ending June 2022, from nearly Sh5.04 trillion in June this year.
