Chinese Foreign Minister visits Kenya amid tensions over rising debt

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi began a visit to Kenya on Wednesday amid tensions over Kenya's debt burden to China. China has lent $5 billion for construction of modern railway from Kenyan port of Mombasa under Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). "It's...debt trap...[the governments] should start renegotiating," lawmaker Kimani Ichung'wah said, alleging that Chinese loans have high interest rates.
