Kenya facing imminent economic crisis, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro warn
Kiharu Member of Parliament (MP) Ndindi Nyoro has warned that Kenya is facing an imminent economic crisis.
Through a post on X on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the former chairman of the National Assembly Budget Committee issued a cautionary statement of the country’s growing appetite for debt poses a serious threat to its future stability.
“Fellow compatriots, it is important that we get involved at least by keenly following what is happening in our country,” Nyoro stated, urging Kenyans to pay closer attention to public finance decisions.
Nyoro cautioned that Kenya is borrowing approximately Sh1.2trillion every year, a level he said the economy cannot sustainably support.
He warned that continued heavy borrowing would inevitably hurt the economy in the long run. “Our economy cannot afford to borrow Ksh1.25 trillion per year,” he said.
The Kiharu MP also raised concerns over the newly established National Infrastructure Fund, claiming that a significant portion of it relies on borrowing that is not immediately visible to the public.
“Did you know that the new Fund (National Infrastructure Fund) is 90 per cent about borrowing more off the books?” Nyoro posed.
