NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 24 – Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u has refuted assertions by Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang\u2019o that the country is paying a high interest rate on loans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement yesterday, Ndung’u maintained that Kenya does not hold any loans from the World Bank or IMF at rates of 14.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We urge the controller of Budget to disseminate factual information to the public and uphold the integrity of the constitutional office,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ndung’u added that Nyakang’o’s remarks risk causing confusion in the country as well as having far-reaching effects on Kenya’s relationship with global lending partners as well as foreign investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Controller of Budget on Thursday while appearing before the Public Debt and Privatization Comittee raised concern over the country\u2019s growing interest rates on debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told parliamentarians that the nation paid more on its recently issued Eurobond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The auditor went on to say that the interest rate of 10.37 percent applied to the recently bought-back debt was higher compared to the 6.87 percent the 2014 bond offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that refinancing does not solve the country\u2019s current problems but rather postpones them to later dates, making the loans expensive in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile interest rates have shot up everywhere over the last couple of years, a double-digit borrowing cost remains one of the most obvious warning signs that all is not well in our country. Kenya was compelled to refinance at a higher interest rate to offset the $ 2 billion bond (sh 292,000,000,000) payment looming in June 2024,\u201d said Nyakango.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
