Ndindi Nyoro, a member of parliament for Kiharu, now asserts that Kenya's economy expanded more quickly in 2023 than both China's and the US economy.

During a Parliamentary Session on the 2024 Budget Policy Statement on Wednesday, Nyoro said that the country's GDP (gross domestic product) was predicted to grow, with estimates from international organizations like the World Bank and IMF showing the margins.

The lawmaker, who also chairs the National Assembly's Budgets and Appropriations Committee, continued by stating that the GDP growth rate in 2023 was higher than that of China and the United States, averaging 5.9% in the first, second, and third quarters.


He continued by stating that, according to the data, Kenya's economy is growing at the 28th fastest rate in the world.

"We are still compiling the figures for the entire year, but it is projected that the Kenyan GDP in 2023 actually grew by 5.6% which makes Kenya the 28th fastest growing economy in the world."

He added: "The economy of Kenya in 2023 grew faster than the economy of China…in 2023, the Kenyan economy grew by many multiples actually than the economy of the United States of America."

The lawmaker continued by attributing the economic expansion to President William Ruto's and the MPs' sound policies under the current administration.


The MP claims that the current government's legislation is to blame for the significant economic expansion.

"The GDP expanded not only by our measurements, as reported by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, but also by data from international organizations and British-owned institutions, such as the World Bank and the IMF," he declared.

"I would like to express my gratitude to this House for the excellent policies we have implemented, which are causing our nation's economy to grow more quickly."
