The government on Tuesday, January 28, issued a fresh plea to US President Donald Trump as his executive order on halting foreign aid started taking effect.
Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'oei stated that the latest directive by Trump hampers development in critical areas such as health.
He called on the newly inaugurated president to propose alternative solutions to safeguard populations in countries like Kenya, which face significant risks in light of the recent developments. "The announced pause to US Foreign Assistance will unfortunately impair the ability of many African countries to meet health and other targets and undermine the realization of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)," Korir stated. "We hope President Trump's administration will provide new pathways for cushioning most vulnerable populations," he averred.
