The construction sector posted the slowest growth in 17 years as retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s debt-funded building construction bonanza of roads, railways, and airports fizzled out.
Fresh data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that the sector grew by 0.1 percent in the first three months of the year, the slowest growth since the first quarter of 2007 when it shrunk by 4.1 percent.
