War is big business that Kenya can ‘invest’ in

The world seems perennially at war. As you read this, someone is most likely dropping a bomb, firing a gun or running away from war.

In Syria, Yemen, Somali, Congo, Ukraine and a host of other countries, war seems like the way of life consuming communities and diverting key resources to military use. This diversion can be estimated by getting the country’s military expenditure as a percentage of GDP by for instance comparing Kenya with the US and China.
