Annual inflation rose to a three-month high of 4.1 percent in July, with upward pressure coming from the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages, transport, housing, and utilities.

Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) data showed that the July figure matched that of April, marking an acceleration from 3.8 percent, which had remained unchanged in May and June.
