#CitizenTV #CitizenDigital

[@malcolmodoy2651]

So what have we been paying for if the President didn't know the state of our public debt

[@jothammaweu3005]

Tumekuwa tukichezwa baya, it's time we fix everything. Controller of budget doesn't know how much we owe and what is paid already and again what the borrowered was spend on

[@donochienski7917]

I wonder

[@reubentv2948]

Aren't we the one we demanded to know how much is our debt from a different auditor?

[@bryanotieno7106]

Oudios debt

[@kittony71]

congratulation citizen tv for this report on debt to this country

As Mother Nature I have given the Africa the ability to produce 2 times the amounts in agriculture. You have the ability to sell more agriculture goods. Joan (Mother Nature)

[@giikuyuu]

Do we need to borrow money from wazungus to develop ourself as Africans,kwani akili tulipewa za nn that😂we can't take a change and smart thinking similiar to powerful asian on how they cane out of poverty to wealthy nations today.

[@Ken_from_Kenya]

While we're @70% debt to GDP, the president doesn't seem to think of this as critical, at least based on his misguided tribal expenditure, & lack of respect for constitutional offices.

[@lucasomolo8443]

Thank You Citizen...I Love This Media Group

[@bryanotieno7106]

Portugal economy is a good case study on how they managed to get out of debt trap and spur economic growth

[@evansnyangano507]

The idea of public participation in debt contractions is great. Going forward let all Kenyans know and approve what is being borrowed, terms and conditions and intended use.

[@blessed78750]

It's sad how we have incompetence on leadership in this country

[@jamesh97]

It's sadder that you all keep electing them🤣

[@wilmabacchus7935]

You voted them into office

[@stanslousk3391]

We cant continue to pay a debt that isn't decreasing but seems to increase every financial year. And politicians going from stealing taxes to stealing debt is a sickening middle finger by those given the mandate of heaven to rule.

[@reubentv2948]

We are paying interest. We haven't started on tax.

[@reubentv2948]

We haven't started yet paying loans. We are paying interest.

[@geoff_254]

Instead of a national taskforce to audit public debt. Why not a town hall where the central governor, national treasury cs, auditor general and controller of budeget come together to explain to Kenyans what is going on

[@bryanotieno7106]

Perfectly illustrates how politicians are benefiting from the debt trap

[@briant5685]

[@user-in6dk5ws1y]

The damage Uhuru and everybody in his administration did to Kenya will take decades to fix

[@harmonytransportation7284]

We need to live within our means so don't we don't need any development for the next 2 years

[@joanh39]

I told this to your leaders. I have also said that I will not support any of Bill Gates seeds. Joan (Mother Nature)

[@MohammedMohammed-uo5sk]

The task proposed by president Ruto is just wasting time and tax payers. Money So President Ruto must begin actions to propel the country into the right direction by acting through kenyan constitution.

[@MohammedMohammed-uo5sk]

President Ruto government must know time is running out and 2027 is just aroused the corner do president Ruto cabinet must work out the economic formula to enabled to make things right.

[@anthonymuchokimurigi1476]

there are so many loopholes, ghost workers, corruption etc that need to be tackled if we are to make progress

[@joanh39]

Don't let them cut your agriculture because you will produce much more to sell your goods at a price the world can afford. Joan (Mother Nature)

[@onlyonedelph]

OLIVE A BADDIE FR FR!!

[@jothammaweu3005]

I think Ruto should stop all projects and manage the debts and the recurrent expenditure only which will not call for more borrowing or Taxation. When his term is done we'll have the right leader to move ahead

[@MohammedMohammed-uo5sk]

President Ruto after borrowing they spent the the borrowed money as if it's going to pay from their pockets but truly speaking is the tax payers money it's used to pay the debts.

[@86wasa]

everything is about Ruto, when will we own up as country without blaming the president.

[@stove7197]

@@86wasaown up to what, paying taxes and seeing little to nothing in value?? Borrowing in Kenyans’ name right into the pockets of politicians?? This dude and company were there during the last decade of the borrowing that has now brought the chickens home so YES to blaming Ruto. That said, Kenyans that just a few months ago used to brag about how they woke up early to vote for Ruto share some blame for the current crisis, but maybe it was a blessing in disguise for awakening this moment of reckoning.

[@MichaelHeery]

​@@stove7197 KENYA believe PREACHERS and politicians with HELICOPTERS.

[@AbdulMajid-bc6xf]

Why Kenny doesn't open a new bank. This banking system has to be private only for fellow Africans to run this financial institutions. Only for African and with African for good.

[@odero1003]

Kenya debts are over exaggerated figures, the reasoning net figured must be agreed upon, public can't be engaged in balling out looters in the names of leaders, we must know exactly what we are paying, & what really the borrowed really used or looted.

[@ChrisKDSC]

Why is this government so scared of a credible audit of its debt profile? Instead of a task force why not staff the auditor general’s office with additional auditors? It looks like the current government may have inherited the same tactics that led us into this debt trap!

[@royaldigest]

Absolutely disgusting, they run the government like a personal kiosk.

[@LucyMuturi-ym5rv]

Hii ni hesabu ya minus.nothing more. We have paid this,this is the balance. So what was the debt based on if they dont know what is outstanding.

[@kiptanui1514]

Flying choppers criss crossing the country yet roads development was suspended due to lack of revenue.

[@misheckwarui986]

We have paid our debts for 2 years..we don't have any debt

[@reubentv2948]

You cannot pay 10t debt in 2 years.

[@donochienski7917]

Government needs to print money purposely for development. This could save the country. Its not all about taxes and borrowing.
