The Kenya economy slowed in 2022, according to the statistics agency on the backdrop of prolonged dry weather conditions, general elections and elevated inflationary pressures.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics said expansion in economic activity slowed by 2.8 per cent to 4.8 per cent in 2022 from 7.6 per cent in a similar period in 2021.
“While the value of production in some sectors was high, volumes were below 2021,” KNBS Director-General MacDonald Obudho said.
