Repayment of public debt will for the first time cross the Sh1 trillion mark from July, underlining the burden of mounting government borrowing.

The Treasury in February disclosures to Parliament show that it will pay Sh1.023 trillion for loans in the year starting July, making it the single-largest expenditure and more than double the Sh435.7 billion that taxpayers paid for debt four years ago.
