Kenya’s inflation jumped by the quickest pace in seven years to 5.6 percent and is expected to accelerate further in the wake of costly fuel linked to the Iran war.

Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows the inflation surged 1.2 percentage points in April from 4.4 percent the previous month.
