Kenya’s economy has created 2.3 million new jobs in the last four years, a government representative said at the end of March.

In making the remarks during a debate about the country’s budget for 2017-2018, cabinet secretary, Henry Rotich, said growth in the economy had allowed businesses across the country to create almost 850,000 new jobs in 2015 alone.

“We have laid a very strong foundation for industrialisation over the past four years,” he said. “We firmly believe it is the right time for Kenya to solidly move to middle-income economy status.”
