This could so easily apply to most African countries, and it certainly does to Kenya, where the poor get poorer, and the rich keep their money off-shore.
Its hard to find the actual amounts given by the UK to Kenya, but a 2013 figure suggests £98 million per year. Is that all government aid ? It doesn't seem very much. Or is most of it via charities such as Oxfam, Water-Aid .... and even HATW ? Its almost impossible to find a break-down of actual amounts given by the UK government on the internet. But the above newspaper cutting suggests we need to rethink aid, and in what form we give it.
