Poverty is an artificial creation. Join political activist and Black
Agenda Report’s contributing editor Ajamu Baraka and members of the
Communist Party Marxist-Kenya on a trip to Kibera, Africa’s largest
slum. It is symptomatic of a larger issue because, despite Nairobi being
the wealthiest county in Kenya, contributing 27% of the country’s GDP,
60% of its 5 million residents live in squalor across 200 slums.
Successive governments since independence have done little to change the
status quo, leaving the people to predatory organizations that, at
best, provide a band-aid to a gaping wound, or at worst, serve to
depoliticize the masses.
