Nearly right...

select
count(aktid) +
(select count(kliid) from kli where avtadelbid = '100%')
as allcount
from akt
where avtaldebid = '100%' ;

Alternatively,

select
count(a.aktid) + count(k.kliid) as allcount
from akt a
join kli k
on a.avtaldebid = k.avtaldebid
where a.avtaldebid = '100%' ;

Both slow queries....indexes would help...

A stored procedure might serve you better.

create procedure countem (inputvalue string)
returns allcount
as
declare variable interimcount integer;
begin
interimcount = 0;
select count(aktid) from akt
where avtaldebid = :inputvalue
into :interimcount;
allcount = :interimcount;
select count(kliid) from kli
where avtaldebid = :inputvalue
into :interimcount;
allcount = :allcount + interimcount;
suspend;
end ^

Query to get the value:
select allcount from countem ('100%')
