So after all Nairobi doesn't contribute 60% of Gdp.


The measurement parameters by world bank and CRA are totally different, CRA used poverty levels while world bank used the GDP per capita e.g if Kiambu's GDP is Kes 10,000 with a a population of 100 people,the GDP per capita will be Kes.100.While if kajiado has a GDP of 10,000 with a population of 200,the GDP per capita will be 50.Hence Kiambu will be ranked richer than Kajiado yet in Kiambu it might be that only 5 people contributed to the kes. 10,000 while in Kajiado every person in the county contribiuted 50 to the GDP

In the eyes of WB, Kiambu county is the richest because it has the highest GDP per capita but in the eyes of CRA Kiambu county is the poorest of the two because majority(95 people) of the people in kiambu are not involved in any economic activity thus no source of income and liveliood as compared to Kajiado where everyone is invovled in economic activity.

@ Swenani that statement ??


It was just an example

Its true.
Have ever visited a place in Kiambu called Ndeiya? Its poorer and desolate than a manyatta in Turbi desert.

It's not a bogus report,it's just that the parameters used to measure wealth are different.

When we were facing East,cordomites were complaining that we are facing east at the expenses of our traditional partners in the west.I think we should just now face up and leave our fate to the gods since it seems no one will be pleased with whichever direction the Ke.Govt faces.

While at it, do not just equate or relate directly your impression of revenue generated per county with poverty index. Revenue is mere 20percent of GDP in Kenya. I however choose to go with CRA, WB report too pedestrian

If you want to know that a country is in trouble; the US & UK Ambassadors start becoming relevant. You begin to see press reports of WB Country director. IMF becomes relevant.

Only GOD can help Kenya.

For about 10 years now, these guys have been irrelevant and nonderscript - we didnot know their name and face. Now they are all over the press. Bure Jubilee smile
