Law Professor Makau Mutua has raised his concern over the rising debt by the Kenyan government burdening the common citizen.
According to Mutua, China is likely to take Kenya hostage due to the huge debt the Jubilee government has borrowed since 2013 when they got to power.
In a tweet on Sunday, Mutua said the next Kenyan President must reconsider and renegotiate suffocating the Chinese loans failure to which the Kenyan economy will collapse.
"Whoever is elected President of the Republic of Kenya in 2022 will have no choice but to renegotiate suffocating Chinese loans, or the economy will completely collapse. Take that to the bank," he tweeted.
Kenya has been borrowing large sums of money from China to support infrastructural development like the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) which, according to President Kenyatta will ease transportation of goods and people.
The huge debt level in the country has made life more difficult for Kenyans.
