The gap between Kenya’s richest and poorest widened after a dip during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, with the wealthiest taking home a record share of the nation’s income.
Income inequality rose to 38.9 percent in 2021, from 35.8 per cent a year earlier, according to the Kenya Nation Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) data made public on Thursday.
