The Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan yesterday made a remarkable revelation: the government is using Sh900 billion out of its monthly Sh1.3 trillion revenue collection to service its debts.
What you need to know:
At the occasion to open a four-day meeting of the regional and district medical officers, Ms Hassan noted that when the Fifth Phase government took over towards the end of last year it found old debts had matured and had to be honoured.
She told the medical officers to be patient while the shortage of funds to run public hospitals is addressed.
