Dignitary and Politician Photo-ops; African Slum Tourism in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya
Recently the Online Think Tank thought on the issue of slum tourism in the World. Indeed, it is a fascinating concept for those who live in the United States where such poverty or conditions are unheard of. It is no wonder people wish to go to see it. But you would think our politicians who go on our tax dollars would stay and live in the slum for a week, not just show up for two hours and walk around with a TV crew behind them?
The truth is that the people in rural Kenya are starving to death and this is why they are coming to the city? We need to solve the real problems, in fact our own Ambassador made a speech about the corruption and political parading in Nairobi slums and the issues causing these things. Without appearing to be sarcastic, I would invite folks to watch the 2007 Davos Forum and listen to what they had to say about the media, using this issue for ratings.
There are 1.4 million to 1.6 million estimated in Nairobi Slums alone, all of Kenya, imagine the poverty level and they are breeding like rats even with the HIV/AIDS taking its toll. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
