The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has compiled a report outlining the Gross County Product (GCP) per capita in all 47 Counties, with Nairobi County recording the highest number.
In the report titled 2024 Gross County Product, the bureau highlighted the clear disparity between the GCP per capita in urban areas and predominantly rural counties.
The capital city recorded a Ksh802,344 GCP per capita, which is almost three times the national average of Ksh293,229 GCP per capita. "This dominance is driven by Nairobi's status as the capital city and the major economic hub," part of the report explained.
