Kenya is coming under heavy pressure from Canada, U.K., UNICEF, and World Bank after corrupt officials in Kenya stole more than 1 million dollars which was supposed to go towards sending children in poverty to school. Kenya is being urged to prosecute the officials which took part in the acts of theft. The operation had been continuing for about 4 years before World Bank realized that over a million dollars had been unaccounted for. Kenya is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, sixty percent of Kenyans live off of under two dollars a day. Officials of the Ministry are still not co-operating with investigators.
This is a crucial moment for Kenya as a nation. Countries around the world are putting together their best efforts in their attempt to lift the country out of poverty and help brighten the future and lives of many children. I firmly believe that support for the country will start to fade if Kenya does not show that they truly understand how impoverished their nation could be without the aid of international organizations. With the situation the economy is in, not to mention the intense debt some countries are experiencing, support for this nation will falter considerably in the event Kenya decides not to take action. There will be revolt in this already divided nation, Kenya has a critical decision to make. The fate of their country may depend on it.
