The Covid-19 pandemic might have created an additional 2.5 million poor Kenyans last year, the Cabinet Secretary for National Ukur Yatani said yesterday.
Speaking during a ministerial conclave on human capital, Yatani said the increase in poverty last year by six percentage points was due to the serious impacts of Covid-19 on livelihoods, which was sharp decreases in incomes and employment.
“The new poor are more urban-based, with a higher level of education and are usually working in the service-rather than the agricultural sector,” said Yatani. He was responding to a question on how the Government was using the Economic Recovery Strategy to invest in human capital to spur inclusive sustainable recovery.
