You only default if revenues stop growing and you can't borrow. Kenya is far from defaulting.

It is 'defaulting' on salaries. It defaulted long ago to tenderpreneurs. It has defaulted on all court awards.

Yes - it something else to default on bankers, pensioners, and investors. Those actually gave money out. The rest are part of the beast - employees, suppliers and lawyers.

Why would anyone supply the government with anything at this point knowing that they won't be paid?
