Inflation for Nairobi’s rich families hit a 23-month high at the end of last year, marking the sharpest rise among all income groups in the city on more expensive fuel and electricity.

Fresh data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics(KNBS) shows that inflation for the city’s upper-income households stood at 4.87 percent in November—the highest mark since December 2019 when it was recorded at 5.33 percent.
