Kenya National Bureau of Statistics hereby releases Consumer Price Indices (CPI)

generated from data collected through a survey of retail prices that targeted a
basket of household consumption goods and services. The survey was conducted
during the second and third weeks of the month, with prices being obtained from
selected retail outlets located in 50 data collection zones, 14 of which are in
Nairobi and 36 in other urban areas.
As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the CPI stood at 108.57 in September 2020, which
was almost the same level as in August 2020. The overall year on year inflation
in September 2020 was 4.20 per cent compared to 4.36 per cent recorded in
