Kenya has in the month of July seen an upsurge in the use of mobile apps. The utility of the applications has risen to 29% for the period ending 2021. The comparison was made between the first quarter of 2020 soon after the entry of the Covid-19 pandemic, to the same period this year.
This has been attributed to the growth in the fintech space in the country and the introduction of superior applications in the near future. Another contributing factor in the rise of the super apps is the convenience of procuring services amidst the Covid-19 menace.
