    "content": "In addition, the Government provided more budgetary resources towards priority growth areas of agriculture, rural development, infrastructure, human capital development and core poverty programmes, which helped to reduce poverty significantly. As a matter of fact, the number of people living below US$1 declined from 57 per cent of the total population in 2000 to 46 per cent in 2006. Indeed, by the end of 2007, Kenya was poised for accelerated development. As hon. Members are now well aware, most of the gains that had been painfully achieved between 2003 and 2007 were substantially reversed in 2008. The economy experienced a dramatic down turn in 2008, growing by a mere 1.7 per cent, largely attributed to the adverse effects of the unfortunate events that followed the December, 2007 General Elections. The problem was compounded by the sharp increase in the prices of oil and fertilizers in the international market and the drought conditions following failed rains in the short rains season."
