{UAH} Kenyans twice as wealthy as Ugandans - Daily Nation

Kenyans now earn nearly double what neighbouring Ugandans earn each year, according to the latest World Bank Development Indicators. 

The detailed statistical report produced annually by the World Bank puts Kenya's per capita at $1,290 against $670 for Ugandans, $920 for Tanzanians and $700 for Rwandans.

Per capita income is a country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) divided by the population to give an indication of the average earnings per person in a year.

Kenya's overall Gross National Income stood at $58.1 billion in 2014/15, compared with $25.3 billion in Uganda and $46.4 billion in Tanzania.

With increasing numbers of Kenyans living in cities and towns, the report says that 56 per cent of the urban population now live in slums, with 63 per cent having access to clean water.

Another striking statistic is the number of Internet users in Kenya, which is 43 for every 100 people, the second-highest figure (after South Africa) for sub-Saharan Africa.
