In 2024, a total of 206,417 deaths were registered across Kenya, with 115,242 being male and 91,173 female.
The data reveals significant disparities in death registration proportions at the county level.
The counties with the highest proportions were Wajir at 90.5%, followed by Mandera at 86.0%, and Vihiga at 74.3%.
Conversely, counties with the lowest proportions were Uasin Gishu at 18.0%, Kericho at 21.9%, and Nairobi City at 22.7%.
This wide range suggests inconsistencies in the vital statistics reporting system across different regions of the country.
