Kenyans living and working abroad sent home $1.23 billion (Sh159.5 billion) during the first three months of this year, marking a slower growth rate of 2.2 percent compared to the pace recorded during a similar period last year when the inflows jumped 18.8 percent to $1.21 billion (Sh156.9 billion).
The slowed growth coincided with the assumption of office of US President Donald Trump who came in with a raft of radical anti-immigrant policies, completely laden with threats of mass deportation.
