Hundreds of Kenyans have been rendered jobless and others risk layoffs following United States President Donald Trump's decision to suspend aid to several countries, including Kenya.

Trump's executive order, which halted humanitarian assistance to most third-world countries, caused unexpected disruptions to several global organisations.

The situation has now forced several government agencies and county governments to restructure their operations to accommodate the rigorous changes.

For instance, in Kisii County, the Department of Medical Services was on Friday, January 31, forced to send more than 500 workers on compulsory leave after the US government halted its funding.
