Kenya’s President William Ruto has admitted that his government is struggling to keep up with its debt servicing expenses, causing an unprecedented salary delay for senior civil servants, including members of parliament.
This was after opposition MPs last week revealed that public servants were yet to receive their pay for March and called for a probe into the country’s key financial institutions including the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the country’s ministry of national treasury.
