Kenya’s inflation shot up to a nine month high of 6.68% in November from 6.47% posted in October, the Kenya Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has announced.

    The increase was largely as a result of increase in prices of food and non-alcoholic drinks which increased by 1.17%.

     

    KNBS also noted that over this the period, housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels’ index increased by 0.11% while transport Index increased by 0.55% on the back of increased prices of retail prices of petrol and diesel.
