    "content": "Therefore, all countries try to, as much as possible, reduce the inequality gap. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done. For example – and I think Sen. Halake mentioned this – the top 10 per cent of the richest households in Kenya are the ones which control 40 per cent of the country’s income. On the other side, the poorest 10 per cent control less than one per cent. Therefore, once again, when you are talking abut forces of production and forces of economic production, you are talking about a situation where those who are very poor do not even have the means of production; they do not own the means of production and they can only provide their labour. However, when that labour is given, then the terms for paying for that labour vary from one country to another, and they are quite desperate and low within a Kenyan set up. Once you talk about inequality and differentiation, then, of course, it will come with other levels of inequalities including life expectancy which will be lower for those who are poor and higher for those who are richer. We will have the national index but we will have a variation. We will have unemployment inequalities, and those in health; HIV/AIDS and education. These are even dire because they contribute to the transition rates that you are going to have."
