Kenya suffers under debt as majority of revenue goes to repayment and wages – KHRC

The government's economic policies on public debt and the wage bill are taking resources away from essential services and worsening inequality. Two reports released by the Kenya Human Rights Commission show that the bulk of Kenya's resources are channeled towards debt repayment and the wage bill, leaving inadequate allocations to health, education, development, and social protection. The reports also show that Kenya's high poverty levels are steeped in historical injustices, especially those tied to land.
