The Treasury has raised its borrowing target for the financial year ending June 2019 by Sh78 billion in the wake of below-par revenue collection in the five months to November 2018.

Treasury secretary Henry Rotich says in the draft 2019 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) that the external borrowing target for the current fiscal year has increased by Sh34 billion to Sh321.5 billion.
