Counties Contribution to Kenya's GDP

Don’t make conclusions on the basis of assumptions. Nyandarua County leads the country in the production of milk, potatoes, cabbages, and peas. Production is almost all-year-round. Nyeri and Murang’a , therefore, can only dream of the earnings that flow into Nyandarua’s agricultural industry. Don’t forget that Nyandarua, is larger in size than both Nyeri and Murang’a and almost all its land is agriculturally productive save for a few wards in Ndaragwa constituency. Moreover, those who possess land in Nyandarua have larger pieces than those in Nyeri and Murang’a. Tea farming is the main economic activity in Nyeri and Murang’a but barely covers more than 60% of the land. A good chunk of the rest is covered by Coffee (two harvest seasons per year) but the industry is on its knees. Nonetheless, I agree that the richest guys in Nyeri and Murang’a are richer than those in Nyandarua, largely due to the former having invested heavily outside their counties (Primarily in Nairobi).

Isn’t most of Nyandarua part of Aberdare Forest??

Nope!! Only about 20% of Nyandarua County is covered by forests. Compare that with Nyeri where at least 35% of the land is forested.
