The government spent Sh507.98 billion to pay public debt over three months to September, marking the first time the half-a-trillion shillings mark has been crossed during similar periods before.
The debt payments between July and September 2025 marked a Sh182.5 billion increase compared to payments of Sh325.52 billion during a similar period last year, underlining the burden for Treasury as it retired some external and domestic loans, new details by the Controller of Budget (CoB) show.
