The National Treasury targets clean-up of data on debt tapped from the domestic market amid mounting pressure for transparency in the government’s financial transactions.

National Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo said that recruitment is underway for a Registrar of national government securities to help improve transparency in the management of the country’s haul of domestic debt, which hit Sh7.4 trillion as at July 24, 2026, accounting for 82.3 percent of the total borrowing.
