Civil society organizations are urging Kenyans to engage in open discussions about the nation's substantial public debt, which stands at Sh13 trillion.

• Each Kenyan, from newborns to the elderly, would owe approximately Sh240,740 if the debt were divided equally.
• The advocacy is led by various civil society groups concerned about the debt's impact.
• This debt burden would escalate to over Sh600,000 per working individual, highlighting the financial strain on the productive population.
