Who decided 40K should be the measure of middle class in Kenya.

Looking at IPOS survey seem the breakdown is like..

43 per cent of Kenyans earn less than Sh10,000.
31 per cent earn sh10,000-Sh25,000.
33 percent earn sh25,000-sh40,000.
4 per cent earn more than Sh40,000.

Looks impressive to me with some 68% earning between 10,000 to more than 40,000. This is not bad. Our standards of living are not that high. Between 10,000 shillings in a rural area is quite something. But again these percentages don't add up. 43%+31%+33%+4% is already 111%. Hey bwana.
