NGOs plan protest over law meant to limit foreign funding to 15pc

The National Council of Non-Governmental Organisations has said it is mobilising its members to protest proposed amendments to the law aimed at forcing them to reveal their sources of funds.

Council Chairman Wilson Kipkazi told The Standard that members have vowed to stop the Government from imposing draconian laws on the civil society. He said NGOs have their own internal and external auditing mechanisms which meet international standards, adding that NGOs have no problem with accountability but will oppose efforts by the Government to audit the private sector.
