Kenya has accused the US Agency for International Development (USAID) of planning to destabilize the Kenyan government by funding street demonstrations across the country.
The country’s National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) said Thursday that it has ordered the Foreign Affairs Ministry to summon the US government aid arm USAID.
The NSAC made the order in a statement dated February 12, in which Francis Kimemia, Secretary to the Cabinet and a NSAC chairman, said to urgently summon the US aid agency to give more information over plans “to topple the government using activists.”
It was not known how many organizations have received aid funding from USAID to hold anti-government demonstrations.
