Kenya: Urban vs. Rural

I looked at Kenya, a country that opted for capitalism. Though Kenya is successful in that it has a strong middle class, this wealth is based mostly in the capital, Nairobi. Elsewhere, unemployment, landlessness, and income inequities are fairly high. From WHO I found that around 42% of the population lives in urban areas. They are probably the successful middle class, flourishing in the capital. However, this leaves over half the population to other areas in the country. According to World History, almost one-fifth of Kenya's thirty million people are squatters, with unemployment estimated at nearly 45%. Combining these statistics with the ones from WHO, you can see that, though just under half of the population is doing well, and equal amount of people are suffering--unworking and possibly homeless. According to WHO, just about 23% of the people in Kenya live below the poverty level (under $1 a day). So basically, half of the population of Kenya is doing fine. Another quarter live in squalor. All of those, plus a quarter more, are unemployed. There is some discrepancy between the WHO data and the data from Wolrd History. In World History 80% of the population is said to remain rural, while only 20% occupies urban areas. Naturally, with these different statistics, the statistics for the percent of the population below the poverty line were also much higher: 40% of Kenyans. In either case, of the people that live in rural areas, about half are moneyless--a very concerning statistic. Is the middle class so focused on "the tradition of aggressive commerce" that they do not see how bad off the majority of the rest of their country is?
