Kenyan economy has grown, but so has extreme poverty

What is the point? The reality is that economic growth rates alone, however high, do not necessarily result into economic prosperity for many citizens. What really transform lives of the majority are the economic policies a country puts in place and pursues to eradicate poverty.  These include prioritizing economic sectors that bring on board many citizens (farming and services in Kenya and manufacturing in Japan for example), addressing inequality (Kenya has one of the highest inequality or Gini index in Africa at 50% …cf: Tunisia and Tanzania about 35%), controlling population growth, and purging waste through corruption, embezzlement and nepotism.
