I don’t know what data they used but I find it hard to believe that western Kenya and Rift Valley produces more economic activity than Mombasa. For crying out loud, Mombasa has an oil refinery, habor, tourist attractions among other large industries.
Same applies for CA, one of the world’s largest economies.
