Over 43.9 million Kenyans cannot afford a healthy diet, a rise of 9.6 million since 2017, a new UN Food and Agriculture Organisation report shows.
The daily cost of a healthy diet has nearly doubled over eight years, climbing from the equivalent of Sh331 to Sh582 per person, according to FAO.
The agency's figures show the number of Kenyans priced out of proper nutrition has grown from 34.3 million in 2017 to the current total.
