As of 2020, the value of arms imports into Kenya was 60 million SIPRI trend indicator value (TIV), increasing from 16 million TIV recorded in the previous year. TIV is a measure to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer. It neither reflects prices paid for weapons nor represents current dollar values for arms transfers. Jordan was the main supplier of weapons to Kenya in the entire period under consideration. Arms included aircraft, armored vehicles, artillery, engines, naval weapons, and ships.

(in million SIPRI TIV)
The trend-indicator value (TIV) was developed by SIPRI to measure the volume of international transfers of major conventional weapons using a common unit. The TIV is based on the known unit production costs of a core set of weapons and is intended to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer.
The source mentioned the following example to better understand the calculation of the TIV value:
''The transfer of newly produced complete weapons systems: In 2017, France delivered 8 Rafale combat aircraft to Egypt. One Rafale is valued at 55 million SIPRI TIV. Therefore the delivery is valued at 440 million SIPRI TIV.''
