The National Treasury has made another bid to demonstrate that the Kenya Kwanza administration has made life better for Kenyans.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi says the cost of living has dropped as the economy responds to measures put in place to ease inflation for the last one year. He explained that inflation - a measure of increase in cost of goods - had dropped from 6.3 per cent in February last year to 3.5 per cent in February.
