The missing variables in our Public Debt Equation

THE STANDARD
OPINION
Our public debt has become one complex equation that no one seems to understand its actual variables or how to solve it. More puzzling is that nobody seems to know the exact debt obligation. The figure varies between Sh6 trillion and Sh12 trillion, depending on who you ask.
The irony of it all is that public debt numbers are quantifiable, yet over time, we have come to wonder whether even among Treasury mandarins there is any individual who can tell us our true debt obligations.
That may explain the anguish of the over 200,000 Kenyans who camped at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) social media platforms to demand they rescind their decision to advance us about Sh259 billion. While their actions may not be of any consequence to the decision made by the IMF board, the signalling effect should ring alarm bells for The Treasury and State House. But I could be wrong on this.

OPINION:
Perhaps the most striking thing about the Budget Policy Statement Grant Robertson released on Tuesday was what it did not say.
He has dropped any quantified target for net government debt.
But this is
not a case of drawing a veil over a profligate approach to fiscal policy.

Kenyan Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies (Saccos) are moving closer to the implementation of an inter-Sacco lending market and eventual integration into the National Payments and Clearing system in a development, leaving commercial banks staring at close to Ksh2.33 billion ($21.37 million) loss in interest income on loans granted to the co-operative sector.
