Actually no need to pay off debt.
Just stop borrowing - finance the budget with proceeds from sales
And after couple of years - debt will drop to proper level.

Yes - gov has two options - or 3 - 1) tax your to death 2) borrow from future generation 3) sell it's asset including it's land. When I was in Uganda - Museveni was not shy to cut forest - and give it to investors...now if you go from Mabira to Mukono-nakawa - there is huge industrial base.
