Nearly half of Kenyans are poor and cannot afford a decent lifestyle, according to a new study by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).

The report titled 'Spatial Dimension of Well-being in Kenya: Where are the Poor?' says 45.2 per cent of Kenyans are simply chugging along and can barely afford the bare minimum - basic basket of food and non-food items.
