Critical industries in Kenya are concentrated in less than 10 counties, leaving the bulk of the country contributing very minimal to the economy, and their residents equally missing out on jobs.

Nine counties contributed more than average to Kenya’s manufacturing, services, construction, mining and quarrying, and electricity sectors. The remaining devolved units contribute less than average, the 2023 Gross County Product (GCP) report shows.
