Really?? And the prisons?, the morgues? the beggars on the streets? robbers?? its all about the tyranny of numbers, and if we were to look at it from another set of goggles, the top jobs are due to political affiliation, nepotism and tribalism and not on merit!!
Still if you remember arithmetics, for every Kikuyu billionaire, how many are paupers??
I belong to a minority tribe in terms of tyranny, and am proud to say we are average and i haven't seen extreme poverty at my home village the way i see it in Central, maybe we love and support each other more...

Very well said.....you can't even drive in Nairobi streets bila omba omba!!!

Tuesday July 30, 2013 - Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) undertook a survey on the poverty index in Kenya in Counties based on the number of those living below poverty line.

This will form the basis for the allocation of National Revenue with poor Counties being considered for more funds to catch up with the rest.

Here is the list of top ten richest and bottom ten poorest counties in Kenya with Kajiado being the richest County and Turkana being the poorest.

Richest.

1. Kajiado

2. Kirinyaga

3. Meru

4. Lamu

5. Kiambu

6. Nairobi

7. Mombasa

8. Narok

9. Murang’a

10. Uasin Gishu

Please note how far Kirinyaga and Meru are from the hubs of Nairobi and how they keep a low political profile, they simply work their shambas, and go to school not politic all day. I can tell you finding a begger or omba omba in these areas as some here state is next to impossible! Even a looch hakuna. Meru for example sold horticultural produce worth 77billion (bananas, pawpaws, avacodo e.t.c)last year not including coffee or tea which rake in more billions there. This is at least a double digit percentage of Kenyas gross product from two counties alone!! Na jembe tu! Does gaarment plough for them? What proceeds from coruption do this farmers get? What of mwea rice which was built buy paupers in the 70's, I used to pass there in the eighties and the kids all had marasmus and kwashikor, they are now rich people, pass by mwea and see, they are all rich, others have now diversified to tomatoes and melons in some dry areas there. Meanwhile Ahero rice scheme and dominion agricultural project killed by Tinga/ODM politics, fish cannot be sold outside nyanza for political reasons.

Lamu has a population of about 100,000 people and many hotels, on average these few guys share a lot of revenue from tourism and fishing, they all can eat fish and get more than a dollar a day doing odd jobs and dancing for tourist unlike some places. The prime consideration is LAMU PORT construction, when a major port is built where there are only 100k residents, projections are that they could potentially be the richest, it makes sense to project a place with a few thousand inhabitants owning a port,

No, it is not projections but real, projections is for your benefit, i am asking you to project and see where Lamu will be vis a vis nyanza which should really be the richest by land, human resource, port, lake, e.t.c listen to this clip of Kenyatta who had eagerly tried to promote wealth growth in Nyanza and the roadblocks Odinga (KPU) put in his way because he was pocketing the residents via his money collection outfit aka KPU. Join Kidero Mr. wachana na hawa wengine, go to siaya and to give "serious talk about wealth".

Jomo pleading with nyanza to abandon KPU

They have not yet been freed!
