Some determinants were regressed on investment, agricultural output, growth in the service sector, net capital inflow, and growth in exports . It concludes that financial deepen ing, outward orientation, foreign capital inflow, human cap ital development and service sector growth have a strong positive link to better economic p erformance. Population size, political disruption and adverse terms of trade are lethal to growth. The paper further reveals the substitution between economic prudence and donor funding, held responsible for current economic achievem ents. This is attributed to donor conditionality and competitive multi-party politics which forced the government to clean up economic mismanagement and built a reputation. This can only be maintained if policies are incessantly consistent without reversalenPossffiility of Sustained Growth in KenyaThesis
