Why did Kenya exit IMF programme?

Focus on Africa

About this episode

Kenya and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will discuss a new lending programme and abandon the current one, as the country struggles to get its economy back on track. Kenya needs continued financial support from the fund to keep up with debt repayments that have accumulated as a result of heavy government spending in recent years. What does a fall out with the IMF mean for Kenya?

Also, why women in Nigeria are calling for a nationwide state of emergency

And in conversation with Ghana's top investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who has been awarded $18m in damages!
