Poverty: A Major Obstacle to Development in the Subsahara Africa

Article Summary by: makowi    

Original Author: Koffi Wisdom MAWUDEKU
Every year when Transparency International, (an International Organization which assesses the economy of various nations
in corruption) publishes its report on the level of corruption in the nations worldwide, it is noticeable that some African countries are in the top list. This is really sad. While a huge amount of money is being stolen from the public account, the population is in an absolute poverty, with no food, no shelter, and no adequate health infrastructure. It seems African leaders are more concerned with personal issues than with the needs of their people.
