Top Richest counties in Kenya according to world bank: From Richest to Poorest of all 47 counties.
World Bank senior authors Tom Bundervoet, Laban Maiyo and Apurva Sanghi just released statistics of the top richest counties according to GDP per capita. Kiambu is ranked as the richest county in Kenya.
Although Nairobi has the highest overall wealth it is not the top richest county in Kenya because of its high population. This implies that the dependence level is higher than supply.
Mombasa and Nairobi are also not among the top richest counties in Kenya because they have zero agricultural GDP as per the 2009 census classifications.
