[quote=S.Mutaga III] After much research, 3 years after starting this thread, my friend's theory holds. Africa (Kenya) is not poor because we are not intelligent, or because we have few resources. In fact, the average Mwananchi earning an honest wage is doing a great job. Africa is poor because funds meant for development projects is pocketed by politicians. That is the major cause of poverty in Kenya. Politicians are making us poor. Here is a breakdown of some instances (just a tip of a large iceberg), and you will clearly see why we are poor.
NYS Saga = Ksh 791 million unaccounted for
Eurobond Saga = Ksh 250 billion unaccounted for
Goldenberg Saga = Ksh 37 billion at least(153 billion from other sources)This cash is not adjusted for inflation, and was more than 10% of Kenya's GDP for several years
Anglo leasing scandal = 24 million Euros /2.7 billion Ksh (Ksh (Wikipeadia)
Many other scandals we dont know about
The total from the above scandals is about 290 billion Ksh. What can Ksh 290 billion do??
1) Nine Thika Roads (Thika rd cost 33 billion)
2) 1 FULLY EQUIPPED referral hospital (6 billion each) in each of the 47 counties. This would make Kenya a medical tourism destination.
3) This money is enough to irrigate millions of acres and foster food security in Kenya like in Israel.
NB: The above sagas are just a tip of the iceberg. Most of these sagas are the ones we dont hear about. Therefore, dont blame the ordinary Kenyan or the traffic cop, 95% of grand theft is by politicians and top businessmen. Sadly, all individuals implicated in these sagas are enjoying the money in Europe and the US because they stole so much that they can buy justice in Kenya.
According to a study, about 8500 people in Kenya control two-thirds of the Kenyan Economy. Income inequality is that serious. With over 44 million people, it is clear that 0.02% of the population controls 67% of the economy. Link: http://www.businessdaily.../-/md5kpfz/-/index.html[/quote]

Came across this interesting read....

Sometime here on wazua I used to say "our skin is cursed" that's why even Hindus who are alittle fair skin than us are way smarter. The darker our pigment gets the more lazy and stupid we become. Look at south sudan,with all those minerals all they do is fight constantly ,you will never see mzungu fighting their own.never.

I quote "He paused. “The Bwana has spoken,” he said and grinned. “As long as you are dependent on my plane, I shall feel superior and you my friend shall remain inferior, how about that? The Chinese, Japanese, Indians, even Latinos are a notch better. You Africans are at the bottom of the totem pole.”
