@Murchr, I can appreciate it when you say that the job creation trend for Ethiopia has been stronger relative to Kenya, given a scale. But that would also mean that if there's a 'drop' then a curve is generated below an ideal. Does such an ideal exist, in fact?

Pardon me, but I have been trying to wrap my head around statistics, and then coincidentally I discover that Session paper no. 10 (1965) pegs our political ideas and actions on growth: meaning statistics.

And in fact, the argument that you appear to be presenting is that Kenya hasn't performed so well in terms of growth as prescribed under an ideal that is preferably described under the session paper (I didn't see a figure prescribing growth in the paper).

But I'll get to a desktop soon and work on the Kenya versus Ethiopia charts.
