Kenya has allocated more than half of its tax revenue to debt servicing and pension payments, according to the National Treasury. This has led to reduced funding for essential public services. The financial strain is attributed to rising loan costs and the increasing burden of retirement benefits. The situation highlights challenges in managing public finances amid economic pressures. The National Treasury reported that this trend has intensified in recent years. The impact is felt across various sectors, including healthcare and education. Officials are now under pressure to find sustainable solutions to balance the budget. The data underscores the need for fiscal reforms to ensure long-term stability.
