In 2025 remarks, Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana called out what he saw as massive waste in USAID's $40 billion annual spending, citing funds for a transgender clinic in India, meals to al-Qaeda-linked groups, and aid to Hamas-tied organizations in Gaza. The Trump administration then slashed USAID, cutting staff to under 300 and absorbing operations into the State Department, with many examples like DEI training in Serbia and LGBTQ health in Guatemala holding up under checks. Conservatives celebrated the moves amid $39 trillion U.S. debt concerns, while critics warned of 600,000-760,000 deaths from halted programs; by 2026, Congress restored some aid with stricter rules.

Key Takeaway

Senator John Kennedy stood on the Senate floor, listing eyebrow-raising USAID projects funded by U.S. taxpayers, from electric vehicles in Vietnam to a Sesame Street show in Iraq.

Sudi, a key ally of President William Ruto, pointed out that Kenya's five presidents all served at least two terms or left office otherwise: Jomo Kenyatta died in power, Daniel arap Moi retired after 24 years, Mwai Kibaki completed two terms, Uhuru Kenyatta handed over after two, and Ruto is midway through his first. Critics fired back with calls for a first-time 'wantam' in 2027, tying it to memories of the deadly June 2024 Finance Bill protests that killed at least 67. Supporters highlighted the lack of precedent even in Africa, while recent polls show Ruto leading narrowly at 24% amid economic tensions and opposition unity talks.

Key Takeaway

At a rally in his pink suit, MP Oscar Sudi declared no Kenyan president has ever done just one term—a statement that hit hard just days before the 2024 protest anniversary.
