President Uhuru Kenyatta’s mashujaa day threat to NGOs and civil society organizations is very disturbing. His speech sounded like a polished script from former President Daniel arap Moi’s numerous attacks on nonprofits and the civil society. If the President’s threat to “defund” the civil society groups, (never mind that these groups do not receive any Kenyan taxpayer’s money) is implemented then Kenya will have gone 20 years back overnight.
