President William Ruto says he is keen to slow down on borrowing as the economy is currently on its knees, adding that the government is instead focused on reducing public expenditure.

"We are keen to revive the economy and this can be done by supporting various measures in the agricultural sector, making Universal Health Care available to all and work on the housing sector," he said while closing the Kenya Kwanza Parliamentary Group meeting at the Sawela Lodge in Naivasha yesterday.
