Rotich spent most of taxpayers’ money on salaries and debts

The country gave creditors a total of Sh870.6 billion, enough to bankroll counties for two financial years

In the 11-months to May, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich spent nearly all the tax collected on items that can’t spark economic growth.

For every Sh100 that the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collected during 2018/19 financial year, about Sh61 went pay interest, salaries and pensions leaving very little for development activities such as building hospitals and supplying them with drugs.
