Uhuru Hails Trump on Halting Support to Kenya

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged African leaders to be self-dependent and stop ‘complaining’ following President Trump’s withdrawal of foreign aid.

Addressing in Mombasa today Wednesday, Uhuru Kenyatta wondered why Kenyan government was crying after President Trump had withdrawn funding.

“Why are you crying and you don’t pay taxes in America?

“I saw some people the other day crying that Trump has removed funding. Why are you crying? It is not your government, it is not your country,” he remarked.

Mr. Kenyatta argued that African countries have been busy spending taxes on guns to attack and kill each other.

“You see the devastation caused across this continent by the many unnecessary wars in Sudan, DRC; we have actually lost more people to bullets fired by Africans on Africans than we lost to the Corona virus,” added Kenyatta.

The former head of State reasoned that Africa has spent more on buying those bullets to kill each other than they have spent on protecting health and the societies at large.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Health CS Deborah Barasa were attending the East African Region Global Health Security Summit 2025 organised in Mombasa.
