Prime Cabinet Secretary nominee Musalia Mudavadi said Kenya ought not to borrow for recurrent expenditure.
Speaking while being vetted by MPs on Monday, Mudavadi said the repayment method should not inconvenience government activities.
"We must borrow prudently so that the debt repayment process does not harm other activities of the government. We should not be borrowing to deal with our recurrent expenditure, we should be borrowing so that we can engage in serious capital development whether it is infrastructure, water, or health," he said.
Mudavadi was the first to appear before the vetting committee. Others to appear after him on Monday include, Aden Duale (Defense CS), Justin Muturi (Attorney General), Alice Wahome (Water) and Alfred Mutua (Foreign Affairs)
During the vetting session, Mudavadi declared that he is worth Sh4 billion.
"If I take my investment in shares in some companies and also properties that I own, I would put my net worth at about Sh4 billion," she said.
He added that his current and anticipated incomes are from rental income, dividends from shareholding, interests and other expenses that come from the farm.
