The National Treasury resorted to an emergency loans facility to repay more than Sh20 billion in interest repayments that were due to bondholders at the beginning of the month, reflecting periodic cash flow challenges.

Latest data shows outstanding overdrafts at the Central Bank of Kenya stood at Sh70.68 billion last Wednesday compared with Sh46.7 billion in the prior week.
