CS Mbadi Meets US Ambassador After USAID Terminates Aid to Kenya

Kenya and the United States have emphasized the importance of maintaining strong and continuous cooperation between the two nations following the recent suspension of foreign aid to African countries by the U.S.

This came after Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi held an open conversation with U.S. Ambassador Marc Dillard at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, where they discussed the recent executive orders signed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The orders and their potential impact on Kenya were a significant topic during their discussion.

The meeting occurred shortly after many aid recipients worldwide, including those in Kenya, received letters confirming that the aid had been terminated. The termination letters sent on February 27 confirmed that U.S. foreign aid to Kenya, particularly from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), was officially stopped.

Both Mbadi and Ambassador Dillard agreed that continued dialogue was necessary to understand how these changes could affect Kenya’s ongoing development projects. They expressed a mutual desire to find alternative solutions to mitigate the consequences of the aid cut.

Mbadi’s statement emphasized that the meeting highlighted the significance of consistent communication between the two nations. This collaboration is essential to assessing the impacts of the aid termination, especially for development programs and organizations that have been benefiting from the U.S. support in Kenya.

The aid suspension sent waves of uncertainty among the beneficiaries, but the letters received by them officially ended any ambiguity.

The USAID-funded Tujenge Jamii initiative, which is a collaboration between USAID, Deloitte, FHI 360, and Goldstar, was one of the Kenyan programs that received the termination notice.

The termination of aid was explained in a letter from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also the Acting Administrator for USAID. Rubio explained that the aid was cut to serve the broader interests and priorities of the U.S. government.

The termination of aid sparked mixed reactions in Kenya, with political leaders such as National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi supporting President Donald Trump’s decision.

Wetangula referred to the move as a wake-up call for African nations to become more self-reliant. “They want to make America great again. We, in Kenya, must make Kenya great forever by making sacrifices and working hard,” Wetangula said during the funeral service of Baringo Senator William Cheptumo.

Despite the termination of aid, Ambassador Dillard reassured the Kenyan government that the U.S. would continue to support critical programs, including the Haiti program, food assistance, and other life-saving initiatives.

Kenya and the U.S. have long been partners in numerous development projects that have had a significant impact on Kenyan citizens.
