The Kenyan government should take note of the economic difficulties that Ghana is currently facing due to its borrowing habits. It would be wise for the Kenyan government to learn from Ghana’s mistakes and curb its own borrowing before it is too late.

Ghana’s economy has been struggling with high levels of debt and slow growth, which have been exacerbated by the hard economic times. The government has been forced to implement austerity measures, such as cutting spending and increasing taxes, in order to try and stabilize the economy. However, these measures have only served to worsen the situation for ordinary Ghanaians, who are now struggling with high prices and unemployment.

Kenya should not follow Ghana’s example and continue to borrow to fund its budget deficits. Instead, the government should focus on boosting revenue collection and reducing wasteful spending. This will require tough decisions and sacrifices, but it is the only way to ensure a sustainable economic future for the country.

April 24, 2025

One area where Kenya could learn from Ghana’s experience is in managing its debt. Kenya has been borrowing heavily in recent years, and its debt-to-GDP ratio has risen sharply. This could make it difficult for the government to service its debt in the future, especially if economic growth remains sluggish.

To avoid this fate, Kenya should prioritize debt management and focus on reducing its reliance on external borrowing. The government should also work to improve the efficiency of its revenue collection, by cracking down on tax evasion and improving the tax system.

Lastly, Kenya should take heed of the lessons that Ghana’s economic struggles have taught us. The government must take decisive action to address its budget deficits and debt levels and focus on building a sustainable economic future for all Kenyans.
