NAIROBI, KENYA: The vast majority of Kenyans do not trust fellow countrymen while only 40 per cent have faith in the National government, a UN Human Development Report 2014 released last month in Tokyo, Japan has revealed.

When asked whether one has to be careful while dealing with others, only 10 per cent of Kenyans said they have faith in fellow citizens. The report which ranks Kenya 147th out of 186 countries on a global scale of human development indicators shows the country's social and economic growth to have stagnated since 2010.
