Govt Officials React After USAID Sends Termination Letters

The decision by the United States to freeze foreign aid has raised concerns, especially in Kenya’s health sector, as it could significantly impact vital programs.

Recently, reports emerged that USAID had begun sending termination letters to key partners, indicating a suspension of funding for various projects.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has voiced his support for the decision by US President Donald Trump, describing it as a wake-up call for African countries.

Speaking at the funeral service of Baringo Senator William Cheptumo on Saturday, Wetangula emphasized that this situation should prompt African nations, including Kenya, to reassess their reliance on foreign aid and focus on building self-sufficiency.

“What is happening in America is a clear sign of the changing priorities,” Wetangula said. “The leadership there is now focused on domestic interests, cutting funding for important programs such as AIDS, malaria, and other global health initiatives.

They want to prioritize making America strong again. It is time for us, as Kenyans, to prioritize our own nation’s greatness by making sacrifices and working towards self-reliance.”

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi also weighed in on the issue, stating that the Kenyan government was exploring diplomatic measures to reduce the negative impact of the aid freeze. Mudavadi stressed the importance of building a strong, resilient economy that is not dependent on foreign donations and aid.

The aid freeze comes at a critical time for Kenya, with the country facing potential shortages of life-saving medical supplies, including antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) and condoms, which are critical in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

The situation has raised alarms, especially among many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that rely heavily on USAID for funding. These organizations are now grappling with the reality of a funding shortfall, with some even considering job cuts due to the lack of financial resources.

The decision by the US to cut aid highlights the vulnerability of programs that are heavily reliant on donor funding, with many leaders calling for Kenya to strive for greater independence in its development efforts.

USAID has already started sending termination letters to several of its key implementing partners. One of the notable projects affected is the USAID Tujenge Jamii initiative, a collaborative effort between USAID, Deloitte, FHI 360, and Goldstar. This project, along with others, is now facing an uncertain future due to the suspension of funding.

As the situation unfolds, both government officials and experts agree that it is crucial for Kenya to explore homegrown solutions to its challenges and reduce its dependence on external aid in the long term.
