USAid contract, grant cuts in Kenya now hit Sh108bn
President Trump’s administration said that it was eliminating more than 90 percent of the USAid’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion (Sh7.75 trillion) in overall US assistance around the world.
The value of big-ticket contracts terminated by the US government in Kenya has crossed the Sh108 billion mark even as President Donald Trump’s government issued more closure notices, vowing to cut back on foreign aid.
New disclosures show that eight USAid contracts and grants worth a combined Sh108.34 billion ($839.47million) have now been terminated in Kenya, putting pressure on thousands of beneficiaries as a 90-day review of aid support programmes nears half-way mark.
