Not all Africans are poor. Africa is actually the richest country in the world but all of its gold, diamonds, oil and other commodities are being stolen as we speak. 35k and a house is nothing! She set records, won championships equivalent to MJ. She deserves more

Rojo is whining, but the (lack of) value of his opinion shouldn't depend on how many hours of volunteering he does. With a functioning govt. that cares for citizens, paying taxes should be enough. I get that govt. doesn't actually function well, by design and or ineptitude, and that e.g. in Maui volunteers are doing more than officials, but that's part of Rojos complaint. It is, however, a misguided complaint about a small, well-deserved benefit that's got good value as PR for the Kenyan govt.

I expect him to do something more than just sit in his house all day every day.
