Kenya may not cushion its citizens living with HIV/Aids following a freeze on foreign aid by US President Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, the poor representation by the National Treasury and Economic Planning revealed unpreparedness by the country to handle HIV/Aids programme that is heavily donor funded.

This gap emerged during a high level meeting on mitigation measures to address the impact of the US government stop order on Kenya's HIV response.

National Treasury and Economic Planning CS John Mbadi gave the event a wide berth, only sending a junior officer who was unable to explain Kenya's funding preparedness.
