There are counties in Kenya where you can live to 90, and others where that is not even a pipe dream; you will die young.
Counties where Kenyans live longest, are in Eastern and Central regions, according to the 2019 report by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). The report cited Machakos, Kitui, Makueni, Murang’a, Meru, Kiambu, Nyeri, Nakuru, Kirinyaga and Embu as places you can live to see your great grand children.
Take Machakos, for instance. It has more than 6,000 people aged over 90 years, followed by Kitui and Makueni with more than 5,700, while Murang’a has more than 5,400 and Meru above 5,300. Kiambu has at least 4,000 nanogenarians.
