"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request a statement from the Chairperson of the Department Committee of Health regarding the effects of the withdrawal of funding by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Kenya. The abrupt suspension of US foreign aid under USAID has significantly disrupted critical programs in the country. This suspension, which took effect on 24th January 2025, resulted from the US Presidential Executive Order mandating the re-evaluation and realignment of US foreign aid. Consequently, all new funding obligations and sub-obligations under the US Development Objective Agreements have been halted for 30 days, with the likelihood of permanent withdrawals from some projects. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
