Critical Statistics on the Covid-19 Vaccine Administration in Developing African Countries


Developing countries, especially African countries are going through a very tough stage in terms of availability of the Vaccine doses. As most of them doesn’t have indigenous facilities to produce vaccines, it is becoming disastrous in terms of economic and health stability.

The present vaccination statistics shows Israel at the top of the chart with around 116 doses per 100 persons. And they have now almost declared a non-mask life inside their country.

The below chart shows the situation of developing African countries (Source- Financial Times).

See the position of Kenya which is 121 with just 1.6 vaccines per 100 persons.

Another disastrous fact is that most of these countries were planning to have dosages from India where the worst wave is hitting (around 400,000 cases and 4,000 deaths per day). India is 71st in this chart with only 11.2 vaccinations per 100.

It will be a full catastrophe if the second wave is hitting these countries where the economic situation is in the worst condition unlike countries like India.

Amidst this critical situation, Kenya is having a very uncommon situation whereas some dosages of Sputnik Vaccines are available in the Country, but not able to administer because of some political games (In fact, they ordered to re-export these vaccines, damn!!!!).

Hope the Authorities of all African Countries will consider the matters seriously and value the lives of their people over the silly political games and mere egos.

May God give Wisdom to them abundantly!!!

  THE KAG ’WAY’ Through the infamous path trudged by the honorable CS Mutahi Kagwe Our great cabinet secretary for health, Mutahi Kagwe’s journey is filled with scandals, corruptions, controversies and deceit. Although the obstacles and challenges before him are numerous, if there is money involved, there is Kagwe to fill in his pockets. Because that’s the kag ‘way’. And if there is a will, there is a Kag ’way’. The first covid-19 case was reported in Kenya on March 12 th of 2020. But little did we know that we’ve already been infected with an even more deadlier virus in February. On February 28 2020, Kagwe was appointed cabinet secretary for health and we were doomed. When covid-19 struck Kenya, Kagwe went straight into action. Well, not the kind of action that one would expect. Where everybody saw catastrophe, Kagwe saw an opportunity, an opportunity for corruption. Kenya was donated 1.3bn shillings by the world bank for dealing with the corona virus pandemic. Enter ...

  Fox Trail with Jayesh Saini & Kuruvila It was the third day of Eid Holidays when I got a phone call from Jayesh Saini. Jayesh Saini who hails from Nairobi, Kenya but have roots in India is a good friend of mine. Even though we don’t chat or call regularly, we keep a good friendship between us for the past 10 years. Due to Covid protocol restrictions, the get together were restricted in Dubai and hence didn’t do much for the first 3 days of the Eid Holidays. So, when Jayesh Saini shared this great Idea of hiking, I didn’t have to think twice. As usual, we made a detailed plan. He will join me at my Mirdif Villa and along with our common friend Kuruvila, we will leave by early morning 5.00 am. And as usual, he came by 5.30, I woke up and got ready by 6.15 and Kuruvila joined us by 7 o’ clock (he..he.. bachelor trip plans are always like this).   We took Jayesh Saini’s X-Terra as he had his company fuel card (being economical J ). I deliberately took the steering as I...

Indian business tycoons known for their contribution to Kenya’s economy Indians have historically played an integral part in Kenya’s development including their struggle for independence. Many of these Indians arrived in Kenya in the early 19th Century. They worked as traders, farmers and on the railway system that the British were building in east Africa. Today, Indians living in Kenya are mainly engaged in construction, metal, and retail businesses. Some work in banks too. Majority of them have seen immense success and are even place in top positions within the government. Being considerably wealthier than a majority of the non-Asian Kenyans, many have been known for philanthropy and contributions towards the country’s socio- economic fabric. Notable few in the recent times include: Narendra Raval , Devki Group, named by Forbes as Africa’s Richest, is popularly referred to as ‘Guru’, has investments in steel, aluminium and cement.
