The US government has begun issuing notices terminating contracts and grants to programmes it funds through non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Kenya, marking an escalation from an earlier directive by President Donald Trump freezing billions of dollars in overseas aid support for 90 days.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAid) on Wednesday sent termination notices to several top NGOs it funds in Kenya—sparking chaos of job losses and potential lawsuits by service providers, landlords, and contractors who had been tapped by the organisations.
