Kenya: numbers do not lie

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya, Citizen Media

Bankele notes that numbers do not lie, people do [1], “Whether it's – Kenya to receive 5.8 billion in military aid, government creates 500,000 jobs, NGO plans to plant 1 million trees, ILO says 352 million children are economically active, SACCO’s contribute 45% to GDP, or 30 per cent of teenagers in some Kenyan coastal areas are involved in casual sex for cash – numbers are thrown at us everyday and we absorb the numbers and take them as gospel truth.”
