内罗毕——预算控制专员Margaret Nyakang\'o对议会表示，肯尼亚的公共债务已攀升至12.82万亿先令，目前贷款偿还额占去了政府总收入的71%，仅剩29%用于支付工资、公共服务和发展项目。\n\n周二，Nyakang\'o在国民议会公共请愿委员会听证会上发出警告，称该国不断加重的债务负担严重挤压了政府的财政空间，在不诉诸额外借贷的情况下，筹措基本公共服务资金变得愈发困难。\n\n她表示，肯尼亚的债务结构目前大约由60%的国内债务和40%的外部债务组成，债务还本付息吞噬了所征收总收入近四分之三的资金。\n\n她对议员们表示：“过度借贷的影响在于，我们征收的收入中高达71%用于偿还贷款。这使得我们只剩下29%来承担所有其他支出，包括经常性支出和发展支出。”\n\nNyakang\'o指出，许多肯尼亚人特别是年轻人要求政府彻底停止借贷的呼声是可以理解的，但在当前的财政现实下很难实现。\n\n她说：“产生的影响是我们必须继续借贷才能维持运转。目前来看，停止借贷的愿望可能并不现实。”\n\n相反，她主张采取渐进式的财政整合，敦促政府通过增加收入和削减支出缩小资金缺口。

原文原文 / Original Text

Nairobi — Kenya's public debt has climbed to Sh12.82 trillion, with loan repayments now consuming 71 per cent of all government revenue, leaving just 29 per cent to fund salaries, public services and development projects, Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o has told Parliament.

Appearing before the National Assembly's Public Petitions Committee on Tuesday, Nyakang'o warned that the country's mounting debt burden has severely constrained the government's fiscal space, making it increasingly difficult to finance essential services without resorting to additional borrowing.

She said Kenya's debt portfolio is now made up of approximately 60 per cent domestic debt and 40 per cent external debt, with debt servicing absorbing nearly three-quarters of all revenue collected.

"The impact of that over-borrowing is that up to 71 per cent of the revenues that we collect goes to loan repayment. That leaves us with only 29 per cent to undertake all the other expenditures, including recurrent and development spending," she told MPs.

Nyakang'o said calls by many Kenyans, particularly young people, for the government to stop borrowing altogether were understandable but difficult to achieve under the current fiscal realities.

"The impact is that we must keep borrowing in order to stay afloat. A wish for us not to borrow may not be feasible at this time," she said.

Instead, she advocated gradual fiscal consolidation, urging the government to narrow its financing gap by raising revenue while cutting expenditure.
