The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has clashed with Kenya National Bureau of Statistics on the performance of key sectors in the second quarter, resulting in different economic growth projection for 2020.

The CBK estimates the dominant agriculture sector grew 5.8 per cent in the first quarter which is higher than 4.9 per cent the KNBS reported and 6.2 per cent as opposed to 6.4 per cent captured by the statistics office in the second quarter.
