IFIKAPO jioni leo, Kenya itakuwa imetumia Sh5.1 bilioni kulipa madeni. Hali hii itajirudia kesho, keshokutwa, na siku inayofuata. Katika mwaka huu wa fedha, taifa litatumia jumla ya Sh1.866 trilioni kulipa madeni, hii ni sawa na Sh5.1 bilioni kwa siku. Kwa muktadha, Wizara ya Afya imetumia Sh127 bilioni tu mwaka huu. Hii ina maana kuwa pesa zinazolipwa kwa madeni kila siku zinaweza kufadhili wizara hiyo kwa wiki mbili. Kwa sasa, deni la taifa limefikia Sh11.02 trilioni.

In the current financial year, Kenya will spend 1.866 trillion on servicing loans. That means Sh5.1 billion for each day of the year. In the same fiscal year, the Ministry of Health has spent Sh127 billion. That means the amount going to debt repayments each day, could fund the Health ministry for two weeks.
