Gov’t Lists 16 NGOs Linked To Ongoing Protests Days After Ruto Called Out Ford Foundation

Gov’t Lists 16 NGOs Linked To Ongoing Protests Days After Ruto Called Out Ford Foundation: The government of Kenya has listed 16 Non-governmental organisations linked to the protests that have been going on for the past 5 Weeks.

Foreign Affairs PS Korir Sing’oei in a letter to Ford Foundation President Darren Walker highlighted that some of the organisations funded by the Ford Foundation have been funding the anti-government protests.

“It is noteworthy that several of your Grantees below mentioned received a total of US$ 5.78 Million (approximately Kenya Shillings 752 Million) between April 2023and May 2024 – with unexplained expedited funding amounting to US$ 1.49 M(approximately Kenya shillings 194 million) – over the last month alone,” Sing’oei said.

Adding: Deeply concerning is that most of the Grantees have been at the centre of the Anti-FinanceBill protests and the subsequent anarchic mobilizations that have sought to upend the peace and security of the state.”
