"The public debt before the Handshake was Sh4.5 trillion. But after the Handshake, the debt is now at Sh11 trillion. We are asking, was the Handshake meant to balloon the public debt?" Kenya Kwanza posed.
The Alliance further demanded that the Government should not borrow money any further in this transition period.
According to the Alliance, the government should focus its resources currently on addressing the rising cost of food prices in the country.
They further addressed the looming budget allocation asking the government to implement the 35 percent allocation to county governments as addressed in the BBI.
They asked the government to allocate enough resources to various sectors including teaching, agriculture, Judiciary to be able to boost the economy and ensure the efficiency of services.
