COMMENTARY

edythkoskey@yahoo.com 6th July 2005	As a kenyan citizen i think kenya is in the process of economic recovery and if there's less reliance on foreign aid then there'll be great changes in the next two decades. There should be less political inteference and fiscal and monetary policies should be implemented in a correct an timely manner.
Wilson Matemo (Nairobi, Kenya) 9th February 2007	Much has changed so far up to 2007, Kindly update the page to give a clear picture of the country. Government changed and the economic growth is over 5%
