Kenya's Treasury says the country is facing serious cash flow challenges due to the maturing debts that have delayed the disbursement of funds to various development projects.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u told the Finance and National Planning Committee that the maturing short-term debts, the depreciating shilling and the high-interest rates have pushed the country to a difficult financial position.
