What you need to know:

  • Only 30 per cent of Kenyans believe the country is on the right track, with 13 per cent unsure.
  • People in Nairobi (61 per cent), Western (68 per cent) and Nyanza (67 per cent) were most dissatisfied.

More than half of Kenyans (53 per cent) say the country is headed in the wrong direction barely a year after President William Ruto took office, a new opinion poll has revealed.

The survey, conducted by Infotrak Consulting between August 21 and September 10, also gave President Ruto's performance a 55 per cent approval rating, while that of his deputy Rigathi Gachagua was 47 per cent.
