Why most African countries remain under-developed

African countries lack leaders who are focused and are able to propel both social and economic growth. Some leaders are only politically driven and their ultimate goal is to gain more powers for selfish motives .Due to immature democracy in African countries, cases of coup de tats are common .This affects development negatively due to the fact that such States do not attract investors and tourists.

Poor governance leads to poor planning. Any nation which does not have well planned policies achieve minimal development. When the government cannot manage and control various institutions within the country, corruption becomes widespread. Kenya in particular lacks competent leaders who are good enough to engineer development. In most cases, they are infamous for vices like engaging in corruption , embezzlement of public resources, greed for power and fight for political supremacy.

Other countries which lack good governance are Gambia, Egypt and Nigeria. These countries have recorded the highest rate of incompetence. To solve these problems , people must utilize their democratic right by voting for good leaders who are development-oriented and focused.
