Rotich: Infrastructure, agriculture to grow economy by 6pc this year

The Government expects the economy to expand by 6 per cent this year, up from 5.6 per cent last year.

Speaking over the weekend at an investment forum in Nairobi, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich said the projected growth would largely be driven by stable weather conditions that would boost agriculture. The economy is also relying on the completion of key infrastructure projects to rejuvenate industrialisation.
