Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo on Thursday aimed a subtle dig at former President Uhuru Kenyatta after the former Head of State's viral comments on the US's withdrawal of foreign aid.

Uhuru earned plaudits in the United States, including from Elon Musk, after openly faulting African nations for decrying Trump's executive orders on foreign aid.

According to Uhuru, the new US President had no obligation to use American taxes to offer Kenya (and Africa) financial aid. "I saw some people the other day crying that Trump has removed funding; that he is not giving us any more money.

Why are you crying, it is not your government, not your country.
