The stock market gained Sh102.6 billion on Tuesday in investor wealth, the biggest single-day jump in four-and-a-half years as it signalled continued recovery following Monday’s Supreme Court ruling that affirmed Deputy resident William Ruto as the fifth president of Kenya.
The last time the NSE made such a large single-day gain on March 28, 2018, it was still enjoying the dividend of reduced political heat following the political handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his rival in the bitterly contested 2017 poll Raila Odinga.
