Kenya’s economy is estimated to have grown by 6.3 per cent in the three-month period to June 30, compared with 4.7 per cent over the same period last year, buoyed by agriculture and the services sector.
This is the highest quarterly growth in five years. In 2013, the country posted a second quarter growth of 7.5 per cent.
