Amani National Congress (ANC) Party leader Musalia Mudavadi has claimed that the nation is being looted dry by some top State officials.
Speaking in Nairobi on Tuesday, Mudavadi argued that this is the reason behind the government's great appetite for debt, claiming that a huge amount of the money is channelled to people's pockets.
The NASA principal stated that the nation cannot keep borrowing and subjecting Kenyans to high debts, yet the benefit of the credit is not seen or felt by the taxpayer.
"We are seeing a country that is over borrowing so as to satisfy the greedy appetite of a few thieves," he said in a press conference.
He further argued that most of the borrowed money cannot be accounted for, an indication that it has not been used for the intended purpose.
He challenged the government to come out and tell the nation the actual money it owes debtors, hinting that it currently stands at almost Sh6 trillion.
"The Jubilee government and their partners must now tell Kenyans the true level of the country's indebtedness," he added.
The former vice president has on several occasions raised concerns over the state of the nation after he declared himself the new opposition leader, following Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga's 2018 truce with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
