As Kenya’s public debt continues to rise, concerns about transparency, accountability, and responsible sovereign borrowing are becoming more prominent. While government borrowing can support development and infrastructure, questions remain about whether all loans are properly approved, transparently managed, and used in ways that truly benefit citizens. These concerns have intensified public debate on odious debt, the burden of repayment on taxpayers, and the need for stronger public accountability in debt management. As part of the #CitizensDebtWatch campaign, it is important to build a shared understanding of key concepts that shape discussions around public debt and citizen oversight: 1. Odious Debt:Refers to loans taken by a government that do not benefit the public and are often contracted without the consent or knowledge of citizens. Such debts may be considered illegitimate if they were used for corrupt purposes, political gain, or projects that did not serve the public interest. 2. Public Accountability: Is the principle that government leaders and public officials must explain and take responsibility for their decisions, actions, and use of public resources to citizens. It ensures transparency and allows citizens to hold leaders responsible for how power and public funds are used. 3. Sovereign Borrowing: The process through which a national government borrows money from domestic or international lenders, such as banks, foreign governments, or international financial institutions, to finance public spending, development projects, or budget deficits. #CitizensDebtWatch
