By Jeffrey D Sachs : Kenya's afflictions go far beyond scandals of corruption

From Prof Jeffrey D Sachs.

Sir, I was sorry to see Michael Homan's justified distatase for Kenyan corruption transformed into an illogical rant against the aid donors to that country ("The donors who turn a blind eye to Kenyan sleaze", 16 February 2006)

"Mr Holman does a disservice to the poor and suffering Kenya people that he clearly cares so much about, by wrongly attributing all of their suffering to corruption and by failing to note the very important ways that they can be assisted through practical, targeted, measurable, and urgently needed help."
