I think Africa has been one of the worst sufferers of this global meltdown.Places like Kenya are stricken by massive poverty.In a sense,I think the meltdown effects may not even have been felt because of the underlying poverty.

Gross poverty has made the condition in African countries worse.Better off and developed countries need to come forward more in assisting them.And more importantly the benefits need to 'trickle down' to the grass root people.

@obi,you are right its a pitty that kenyans are used to the hardships while the so called MPs and govt claim to represent them are the ones laughing all the way to the bank earning untaxed hundreds of thousands. I dont see these things changing any sooner cause these problems are deeply rooted. Certainly third world countries are the worst affected cause here in the UK and also in america they came up with and economic bail out plan. They are injecting some Millions of pounds to the economy to kick start it again. But our kenya nobody expects Central bank to do that cause the govt itself is in debt in the first place. The common man really does suffer in kenya and its all cause of the rogue politicians we do have who dont know what they are doing in the first place. Everytime i'm saddened by the whole thing cause the common man is having it rough in every corner. This is because Politics is life,politics does affect everything from education,food,medication yani kila kitu. But with these Greedy guys up there nothing is changing cause all they do is fill their bellies and its getting worse by the day.
