Truth behind poverty trap and why many Kenyans won’t escape it

The doctrine of less government is appealing. Yet its gains were not weighed against the unintended loss the population suffers over time.

Nothing beats the pleasure of driving down the countryside; encountering the random muddied tractor or an old Bedford lorry lumbering up the hill, heaving under the weight of freshly cut tree logs or farm produce. Sometimes seeing cows graze in the meadow; smoke billowing from a grass-thatched roof… then chancing upon a river flowing by with fresh, turquoise blue waters that tempts you to go for a swim.
