Who belongs to the middle-class in Kenya today? And how much should one be making, per annum, while in the middle-class?

Middle Class in Kenya is determined by spending and hanging out joints
Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

Can afford to run a mitumba car; various mpanga wa kandos; can get a loan from Ekweity and quarter nyama soma at Njuguna's every other weekend and has a 1/8th somewhere and probably lives in purupuru or equivalent.

@Governor,

Interesting observation. Is Middle class defined by Earning, Spending or Residential Area?

I disagree on the mpango wa Kando.

I think, a middle class kenyan should be one who earns between 40K - 200K kenyan money net.

Most probably living in a rented 2 bedroom house (ama na wazazi ushago), can afford a 2-3 days vacation to Mombasa or Naivasha annually and must be MALE!

For FEMALES, you cannot use salary to classify her, but should be able to;
i. Have a middle class jamaa,
ii. Can afford to convince a guy to take her to Mombasa in Dec.,
iii. Does not take chang'aa!

@dunkang,

It's funny how Landing finds it's way in almost all threads. I thought @Waithaka meant various side Hustles not the Mpango wa kando of the landing type
