Manufacturing’s contribution to Kenya’s gross domestic product (GDP) declined for the fifth year in a row dealing a blow to one of four main priority sectors in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s legacy term.

Data published by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) Thursday shows the sector's contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) stood at 7.6 percent last year down from 7.9 per in 2019.
