https://www.standardmedi...to-allow-more-borrowing
Treasury is once again seeking Parliament's nod to reduce the Government's debt by half. The latest initiative does not involve paying off the debt, but changing the law to create room for the Government to borrow more.Treasury wants a change to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act that would put limits on foreign borrowing only. This would lower Kenya's percentage of debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the current 49 per cent to 25 per cent. This would effectively offer the Government more room for borrowing. "We are asking for an amendment of the PFM Act to classify only external public guarantee debt to be considered as the ceiling for the purposes of the World Bank Country Policy and Institutional Assessment,” Treasury PS Kamau Thugge said. Dr Thugge said Kenya’s current total debt to GDP stands at 49 per cent, which is still short of the World Bank's recommendation of 74 per cent, the level at which the institution considers debt to be risky. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

This is a very good move, we need more money to build & develop the economy. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen
