Middle Class Myth: Oxfam Report

I do not think this report is accurate but I have been wrong before.

It claims that: The gap between the richest and poorest has reached extreme levels in Kenya. Less than 0.1% of the population (8,300 people) own more wealth than the bottom 99.9% (more than 44 million people).

Kwa hivyo basically there is almost no middle class in Kenya. Most people who think that they are “middle-class” are actually sh*tmunchers.

Umeffi post from a delusional phaggot who’s greatest achievement will be marrying a raggedy mulatto

Sisi watu wa “generational wealth” hatunanga hizi ma shida … tunamumunya mali yetu pole pole huku reserve watu wa “middle class” waki show off uko nje na ukweli wa mambo ni hati hawana kakitu. Hata nyumba zetu zenye wanaishi uko Nairobi wanashindwa lipia rent … lakini uko kwa club wanasumbua sana na gari za loan. Watu sambuli ingine ovyo kabisa.

This guy with his 300 cattle and 1,000 acres hapo turkana is worth millions. Is he included in the list of millionaires in that report? And there are millions like him in the country.

What would call the other 9 million

:kenyas enequality gap is big. Jana i looked at the GDP, the the GDP per capita. Was left dumbfounded

How did they calculate Kenya’s Gini Coefficient…I know it has to be crazy…Konyagi and MO1…add wakoloni own almost three quarters of 254

You shouldn’t worry about rent. At the minimum have a three-bedroom decent crib somewhere near a proper urban center. You should be able to lose your job without being worried of the consequences. Which means you should have a decent passive income.

Help us understand pris

0.1% of around 50M is much much more then 8,300 people

I already said that i do not think that the report is accurate.

A bad drought or an attack from rustler @Gaza and he’ll be worth zero.

Rubbish.

Wealth in Kenya is mostly held in land and livestock, which is why very few Kenyans have bank accounts withore than 100,000.

Wealth here is not held in current assets like cash, shares, bonds etc.

Now marry the report to your thesis of having $100m in liquid form ndio uanze kufikiria kuoa.
