The US agency, in a letter dated May 8 letter, cites unspecified conditions that are yet to be met by some of the implementing partners.

The letter signed by Brian Woody, the USAid/Kenya and East Africa contracting officer says activities such as salaries and wages, operations, domestic and international travel as well as meetings and workshops have been suspended.

The directive is a major blow for President Uhuru Kenyatta since funding for domestic, international travel and activities undertaken during such trips like training, conferences, site visits and conventions have been suspended.

Other activities the agency will not fund include meetings, events, and workshops as well as the printing of communication material such as brochures, training materials, and guidance documents.
