Molding the middle class: Kenya's path to greater economic growth. (e-journal)
An announcement by Kenya's Central Bank indicating that the country had experienced 5.8 percent economic growth in 2006 was dismissed by the media and the government opposition as political propaganda. Under former President Daniel Arap Moi's government in the late 1990s, Kenya's economic growth fluctuated from negative values to highs of 2.3 percent. In spite of an upturn in economic growth, however, other indicators were not as promising. The number of people unable to afford 2,250 calories per day hit a staggering 14.4 million out of a population of 32 million. This represented an increase in poverty levels from 47 to 53 percent in rural areas and 29 to 49 percent in urban areas.
