How rebellious republicans saved Kenya and Africa from Trump's wrath

When Donald Trump took over American leadership, the US, African experts and politicians warned that his pledge “American first” could threaten Washington’s three biggest health and trade initiatives in Africa.

 Chester Crocker, a former US assistant secretary of state for Africa in the Reagan administration, said it was misguided for Trump to negatively impact on the three bipartisan programmes, backed by successive presidents, designed to help African countries deal with health emergencies, develop stronger economies and deepen democratic institutions.

The anxiety for Kenyan and Africa as a whole was that, if Trump carried through on his domestication policies, Africa could be adversely affected.

It comes as a big relief to Kenyans and Africans following the rebellion among members of his own party to seal the failure of Trump’s effort to repeal and replace the Obamacare.

The bill was shot down by the Republican leaders in the House of representative.

One of Obama’s long-term initiatives has been “to establish a social health insurance system to enable equitable provision of health care to all Kenyan citizens.”

Trump is not a happy man after his initiative to seal the failure of the effort to repeal Obamacare in his bid to make crucial changes in the healthcare docket.
