Foodstuffs in Kenya are now priced at 12.54 per cent higher than they were at the same time in 2016. This has sent inflation to 6.99 per cent, the highest in eleven months.
Latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) showed food and non-alcoholic beverages' prices have risen for nine months on end since May 2016, with the latest jump being attributed to drought.
