Kenya’s economy expanded 10.1 percent in the second quarter of the year on the back of a rebound in economic activity compared with a similar period last year when tough Covid-19 containment measures led to a 4.7 percent contraction.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) showed the growth in the April-June period was faster that first quarter when Gross Domestic Product (GDP) slowed to 0.7 percent compared with 4.4 percent in corresponding period in 2020.
