Kenya poverty level constant for six years

The Bank said notable improvement has been recorded in school enrolment, showing the country was on the right track to meeting the MDGs. File

The World Bank estimates that Kenya’s poverty level stands at 44 to 46 per cent, which is almost the same level it has remained for six years. However, it represents an improvement from 12 years ago when poverty level stood at 56 per cent before falling to 46 per cent in 2005/6.

While some progress has been made in meeting Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the World Bank estimates that the battle is far from won.
