Kenya’s inflation remained unchanged in June at 3.8 percent aided by a drop in the cost of key household essentials including electricity, cooking gas and kerosene, even as that of most food items rose substantially.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that the cost of 200 kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity dropped by 8.2 percent to an average of Sh5,738.5 in June compared to the same month last year.
