I think we have reached a level where as we try to give meaning to a good nation like this, we need to look at countries that have made a difference like Brazil, Malaysia, South Korea and so on. How have they succeeded? Sometimes, you look at the statistics being channelled out of Africa and you keep asking yourself a question. World Bank statistics show that of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world today, six are from Africa. These include Ethiopia, Angola, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, but Kenya is not among them. When you look at Africa, are these statistics matching with social transformation? We are told an economy is growing because they have discovered oil and exporting it to the international market. The poor are growing poorer by the day. Look at the great nation of Nigeria. This nation has been a top oil exporter in the world for the last close to 30 years but is there any social transformation in Nigeria? I say “no”. Look at a country like Botswana; some of its citizens have gone to the international court of justice to demand their rights to learn while Botswana is one of the major lenders of money to the World Bank. People are still living in Stone Age dens. Look at around us. Even in my own county and other counties like Kakamega, the majority are poorer than they were at Independence yet we have a rich country. ForbesMagazine says that the richest man in Africa comes from Kenya. We can easily say that the poorest man from Africa is probably Kenyan."
