Progressively, our debt-carrying capacity has narrowed,\u201d Mbadi told Parliament. \u201cThis calls for prudence and discipline on how we manage and take on new debt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mbadi, the government must now make difficult but necessary decisions to manage its growing debt burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said this includes streamlining public expenditure, ensuring borrowed funds are channeled toward productive investments, and curbing wastage and mismanagement in public offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese constraints are interlinked and addressing them strategically requires strategic planning, fiscal discipline, and a commitment to long-term sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbadi noted that while there is a pressing need to raise more domestic revenues to support development and social programs, the Treasury is keen to do so without stifling the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High taxes, he warned, could deter investment and hurt small businesses, undermining the country\u2019s economic growth objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Treasury chief emphasized that the 2025\/2026 budget has been crafted with a focus on striking this delicate balance. He said feedback from nationwide public forums (barazas) has been incorporated into the budget-making process, ensuring that the voices of ordinary Kenyans are reflected in the fiscal decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbadi\u2019s remarks come at a time of heightened scrutiny of government spending and rising public discontent over the cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Civil society groups and economic analysts have called for a more transparent and accountable budgeting process, urging the government to prioritize essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure while eliminating duplicative or non-essential expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The budget is expected to lay the groundwork for economic recovery following the financial shocks of the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with Kenya\u2019s public debt now standing at over Sh10 trillion, analysts warn that without deep structural reforms and a firm commitment to fiscal responsibility, the country risks falling into a debt trap that could jeopardize its future growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mbadi acknowledged the government is operating under constrained fiscal space due to years of rapid debt accumulation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14438,"featured_media":773528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4625,26],"tags":[22887,1981,491],"coauthors":[16298],"class_list":["post-773526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-cs-mbadi","tag-featured","tag-kenya"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
