Kenya's Life Expectancy

Did you know that the average life expectancy for a Kenyan is 57 years? Well this is the challenge that took close to 100 members of parliament to Mombasa under the auspices of the national coordinating agency for population and development in efforts of seeking ways of increasing the life expectancy for a Kenyan to 60. How can that be done? Citizen television's Evelyn Wambui travelled the opposite direction... To Yata to answer that question through the lifestyle of a man now celebrating his 128thbirthday.

@matts6894 I know right, i thought they were convening to figure out how to feed the millions or resettle the IDPs but talking about old age really? Trying to make extra money, NKT!!! Kwanza Fred Gumo over there in the front seat as he refuses to pay taxes i wanna yank him right from the screen. IDIOTS!

This is absolutely the WORST report i've ever seen! This 'journalist' should be ashamed of herself!

Here is my problem: This Evelyn Wamboi shows this 120 year old man (yeah right), instead of emphasizing the fact that Kenyans are dying too young. No wonder Kenyans think they live long enough, when they see this one old man.

How many of us have or know someone under 30 whose parent died? In USA parents die when their kids are 60, not 30! there is such a huge gap. This reporter should show this.

That man is NOT 128. Prove it! He can be anywhere between 93 - 100 years but no more!
