The rate of inflation slowed to 5.84 percent in August down from 6.62 percent in July driven by a lower cost of some foodstuffs as well as energy. Latest figures from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics indicate that favorable weather in recent months has seen farmers start harvesting their crops which has helped reduce the prices of some foodstuffs such as maize, sukuma wiki and potatoes. On the other hand, there were notable increases in the cost of meat and electricity.
