The National Treasury is defending its strategy of high domestic borrowing to fund the budget deficit, despite warnings from Parliament that Kenya risks breaching its debt ceiling and hindering private sector credit.

• The government plans to borrow approximately Sh 1.2 trillion domestically in the next financial year.
• Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo appeared before the National Assembly Public Debt and Privatisation Committee to explain the debt management strategy.
• Lawmakers expressed concern that Kenya's public debt remains above the legal threshold of 55% of GDP.
