The Nairobi bourse defied the rising political risk to add another Sh21 billion in investor wealth on Thursday, backed by foreign investors buying blue chip stocks.

Market capitalisation— the measure of investor wealth— rose to Sh2.361 trillion from Sh2.339 trillion on Wednesday, when the market had gained Sh15.97 billion on a day when protests ground business activity in the city to a halt.
