Uhuru Kenyatta’s Support for Trump’s Aid Suspension Sparks Heated Debate Among Kenyans

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has sparked an intense debate among Kenyans after backing former U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend foreign aid for 90 days. While addressing the East Africa Region Global Health Security Summit in Mombasa on Wednesday, January 29, Uhuru argued that African nations must shift focus from dependency to self-reliance.

“Why Are You Crying?”

Uhuru dismissed concerns over Trump’s decision, stating that the U.S. is not obligated to support Africa.

“I saw some people the other day crying that Trump has withdrawn funding. Why are you crying? It is neither your government nor your country. He has no reason to give you anything. You don’t pay taxes in America. He is appealing to his people.”

His remarks quickly ignited online discussions, with Kenyans divided on whether he was speaking the hard truth or simply deflecting blame.

A Call for Self-Sufficiency

Uhuru stressed that Africa must prepare for future health crises rather than rely on foreign nations for support. He urged leaders to prioritize essential services instead of military spending.

“As Africans, we should not wait for others to come to our rescue. We must be prepared for future health challenges because, in times of crisis, developed nations will first take care of their people before supplying vaccines to third-world countries.”

His call for economic independence struck a chord with some citizens but left others questioning why he had not championed self-sufficiency while in power.

Mixed Reactions from Kenyans

Uhuru’s stance triggered sharp reactions from Kenyans, with some applauding him and others calling him out for hypocrisy.

Supporters agreed with his sentiment:

  • “Very true.” – @amatallia__
  • “He is right.” – @faib515
  • “We should stop depending on handouts.” – @romneysk

Critics, however, accused him of failing to lead by example:

  • “You are wise only when not in government.” – @jeyb_classic
  • “The audacity. It started with you.” – @iamkeheart
  • “Says the same man who promised our kids laptops and never delivered.” – @cjmmoja254

A Shift in Perspective?

Many questioned why Uhuru did not prioritize self-sufficiency during his presidency. Some pointed out that his administration heavily relied on loans and international aid.

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear—his comments have struck a nerve among Kenyans, reigniting discussions on economic independence and government accountability.
