The value of buildings that received approvals for construction in the first six months of the year in Nairobi increased sharply by 93 percent to Sh85 billion from last year, defying election jitters.
The latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) show that the value of approvals in the January to June period rebounded to almost pre-Covid levels. This points to a busy season for county officials involved in the approval process, as the rest of the country prepared for the August poll.
