The value of imports ordered by government agencies hit an all-time high of Sh110.9 billion in the 12 months to last December, partly due to a weakened shilling in the first quarter of the year and a sustained appetite for foreign goods.
An analysis of the official data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows in the period under review, the value of government imports rose from Sh62.07 billion in the year ended December 2023.
