Kenya inflation rate remained steady at a three-month high of 9.2% in March, above the central bank’s preferred range of 2.5% to 7.5%. Consumer prices increased by 0.8% MoM, up from a 0.6% rise in the previous month. Meanwhile, Kenya’s primary opposition has agreed to halt protests scheduled for this week and announced plans to engage in dialogue with the government regarding their demands for electoral reform and measures to alleviate the high cost of living. These protests have resulted in over 400 injuries, including at least 60 security officers, and have led to widespread violence and invasions of private property, damaging the country’s reputation.
