Kenya’s exports to Africa exceeded imports by Sh121 billion in nine months through September, hitting record-high levels that signal increased deals on the continent for traders amid President William Ruto’s aggressive diplomatic offensive.

Official data shows traders sold goods worth Sh324.79 billion to African countries in the review period, a 20.86 percent jump over Sh268.73 billion in a similar period the year before.
