The story of western aid is a myth. Western countries have put significant amount of money to their overseas development assistance budget, but this funds ‘primary purpose is to serve the immediate and short term security and national interests of donors rather than the long term interests of the recipients.
The experience of Asia shows that where western aid has failed to do a job, domestic good governance can succeed. This is likely to be Asia s greatest contribution to world history. i dont think what we need aid but we need good governance which we lack.we keep on recycling the same people.look at the current cabinet! i do not admire Michuki as a person but he can change a ministry to good. i dont pin any hope in kenya developing using donor money. we have been getting it but we are still a third world country.
