At least half of Kenyans living abroad have taken up a side job since the Covid-19 pandemic struck, to sustain remittances back home.

A survey conducted last October by global payments firm WorldRemit suggests that a sizeable proportion of Kenyans abroad have either stopped completely or slashed the amounts of money sent to distant relatives and friends back home.
