There is nothing wrong with pursuing financial wealth. The fact is that Kenyans’ ambitions are what keep our economy thriving, with growth rates of 5.7 per cent projected for 2019, according to the World Bank economic update on Kenya, and Real Gross Domestic Product projected at 5.9 per cent for 2020.

This economic activity lays the foundations for important social justice policies that help the sick and the poor, enabling Universal Health Coverage, an affordable housing programme, projects aimed at enhancing food security and real jobs and infrastructure. All these in turn are also enabling further growth.
