Kenya's government reported that its domestic debt reached Ksh7.726 trillion as of September 11, 2026, a rise of Ksh58 billion from the previous week. The increase reflects ongoing financial pressures and borrowing to fund public services and infrastructure projects.
The government has been relying on domestic borrowing to meet fiscal needs, as external financing options remain limited. Officials noted that the debt growth is driven by increased spending on healthcare, education, and transportation.
Analysts warn that the rising debt could strain Kenya's economy if not managed carefully. The government has pledged to improve fiscal discipline and increase revenue collection to stabilize the financial situation.
