The Politics Of Foreign Aid In Kenya Since Idependence, 1963 - 1977
Abstract
Post-independence politics in Kenya has been
concerned with the choices that would promote economic
and social development of the country. One of the main
factors influencing such choices has been external
capital, particularly foreign aid from western countries
and institutions. Being complementary to metropolitan
capital exported to Kenya, among other poor and backward
countries of the world, foreign aid has, ever since the
colonial period, been a tool to promote exploitation and
domination or underdevelopment and dependence of the country
at the hands of metropolitan-based international monopoly
capital. It has also been largely instrumental to the
creation of social, economic and political conditions
that are conducive to the continuation and expansion of
such exploitation and domination, underdevelopment and
dependence of this country in order to facilitate further
development of the metropolis..
