Kenya last year bought Sh7.9 billion worth of arms from China, strengthening the East African nation’s engagement with the Asian giant outside civil works and equipment imports.
Military hardware that Nairobi ordered from Beijing includes tanks, armoured vehicles and spare parts, according to a report by a European arms trade monitoring agency, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri).
