''Donald Trump queries health and terror funding''

Kenya is stressed over a conceivable withdrawal of US
support for its crusade in Somalia, taking after a progression of inquiries
sent by approaching President Donald Trump's group to the State Department. The
battle against Al Shabaab is just a single among issues concerning Africa
raised by the Trump move group, made open by the persuasive New York Times
daily paper at the end of the week.

Others questions recorded allude to a conceivable move in
American strategy on exchange and crisis subsidizing for HIV/AIDS patients.
Kenya is stressed in light of the fact that if the answers don't conciliate the
new organization, which assumes control over this Friday, it could trigger a
noteworthy approach change influencing Washington's support for the
administration's counter-psychological warfare program and its battle against
the Aids pandemic. One of the inquiries drawn up by Trump's consultants would
we've say we've is: "been battling Al-Shabaab for 10 years, why haven't we
won?"

Addressing The Standard on Sunday yesterday, Government
representative Eric Kiraithe said the inquiries "ought to absolutely
stress Kenya". Concern spins around what the Trump organization will do in
the continuous war against the Somalia-based Al Shabaab, in which the African
Union strengths get urgent calculated support from the US. The request, which
is a piece of Mr Trump's arrangement for government, goes ahead the primary
commemoration of the bleeding assault in El Adde, Somalia, in which Kenya lost
almost 100 warriors because of the activists. The way the Trump group has
surrounded the question is much the same as an interest for results for the
billions of shillings that the US Government has soaked in the counter-fear
based oppression hostile in the Horn of Africa. Mr Kiraithe, himself a senior
security figure, commented: "We are at war with Al-Shabaab. We value the
bolster the US has given us and we will be sharp as accomplices in provincial
security on the off chance that he (Trump) added more driving force to that war
and much convey an executioner blow." Kenya has troops in Somalia battling
Al-Shabaab. President Uhuru Kenyatta has over and over pledged the nation's
fighters will remain in Somalia until the activists are vanquished. Under active
President Barack Obama, the US has had "one of the most profound and most
critical security connections for the United States in all of Africa", as
indicated by Robert Godec, the US Ambassador to Kenya. The formal military ties
started in 2010 when the two nations marked the Kenya National Military
Strategy agreement and the White Paper on military collaboration. The thought
was to support Kenya's military capacities and expand security relations
between the two nations.

Just two months back, Mr Godec commented, while giving more
than six helicopters to the Kenyan military: "We reaffirm that the United
States is and will remain your unfaltering accomplice in the battle against
fear based oppression and radicalism." Another question that the Trump
group put to the State division peruses: "A large portion of AGOA imports
are petroleum items, with the advantages going to national oil organizations.
Why do we bolster that enormous advantage to degenerate administrations?"
President Kenyatta's organization is at present under attack over abnormal
state defilement in government and its inability to manage misappropriation of
State assets. His relatives have been involved in faulty manages government
services. AGOA alludes to the Africa Growth Opportunity Act, a particular
exchange agreement, which permits sub-Saharan African nations to fare products
to America without paying assessment. The exchange arrangement is a key part of
Kenya's global exchange because of the fares of material and clothing, tea,
espresso and titanium, in a circumstance that has made the US Kenya's
third-biggest fare goal. "(The question about) AGOA involves worry to
us," said Kiraithe. Another program that could be influenced is the $7
billion 'Power Africa' program started by President Obama. As ahead of schedule
as 2013, Mr Trump had said the program was just an approach to pump billions of
dollars into Africa's famous political kleptocracy.

"Each penny of the $7 billion going to Africa according
to Obama will be stolen - defilement is wild!" he tweeted. Mr Trump's
group has additionally scrutinized the President's Emergency Program for AIDS
Relief (PEPFAR), a program that achieves about 11.5 million individuals with
life-sparing against retroviral treatment and has given more than 11.7 million
intentional therapeutic male circumcision strategies in Africa. The Trump group
asked: "Is PEPFAR worth the enormous speculation when there are such a
large number of security worries in Africa? Is PEPFAR turning into an enormous,
universal qualification program?" The New York Times cited J Stephen
Morrison, the executive of the Global Health Policy Center at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies, saying the inquiries demonstrated an
"overwhelmingly negative and demonizing viewpoint" on the landmass.
