There is hope in the horizon! For those without sight of the most recent consumer index as released by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, this statement may sound odd, particularly considering that the report for the first quarter of 2024 indicates that the economy only expanded by 5 percent, compared to a growth of 5.5 percent in the corresponding quarter of 2023.
This slightly reduced expansion as evident in the start of the first quarter raised some concerns, particularly with the increased unrest, more commonly perceived to have been largely instigated by the Gen Z’s.
