About the Quizzes & Simulation Tool

The simulation tool allows users to model Kenya's debt trajectory under different fiscal assumptions. By adjusting revenue growth, expenditure growth, interest rates, and primary balance targets, users can explore how policy choices affect long-term debt sustainability.

The quiz section tests understanding of core public finance concepts — GDP, debt ratios, external debt risks, and contingent liabilities — to build fiscal literacy among citizens and stakeholders.

About

This section provides real-time tracking of Kenya's total, domestic, and external public debt, transforming historically delayed and static Treasury reports into live, independently verifiable information. With live counters and trend visualizations, users can cross-check the Treasury's debt figures and projections against real-time model outputs, ensuring that public oversight does not depend solely on government-released numbers.

By democratizing access to debt data, the platform empowers citizens, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), journalists, researchers, and the Budget and Appropriations Committee to interrogate the credibility and consistency of official statistics. This transparency strengthens accountability and promotes good governance by enabling users to verify whether borrowing patterns align with published Treasury reports and macro-fiscal assumptions.
