Kenya borrowed more than Sh30 billion to buy weapons which contributed to a Sh270 billion build-up in the country’s foreign debt load in the four months to February.

A fresh report tabled in Parliament last week shows the additional loans were spent on purchase of military jets, expansion of the naval base, building of a second international runway as well as purchase of CT scans for the country’s health sector.
