Kenya is not a rich country, but hardly suffers from "civil wars, coups, and a starving population". Not all African countries do.



I see someone hasn't worked in Kenya.

There's a lot of change happening now in Kenya, especially in terms of stable and democratic governance, but in no way is it not corrupt. It ranks at near the top consistently amongst African nations for corruption and bribery at all levels of the government.


If you really believe that, you should take a look at the Wikipedia page of Kenya, especially the history section.


Which part of it?!


Probably the 1982 coup and 1988 elections.


Recent years have also seen rigged elections and attempts to change the 2010 constitution.
