Netherlands suspends aid to Kenya over graft - by David Mageria
Netherlands has suspended aid to Kenya worth 118 million euros ($148 million) over corruption concerns. However, the Kenyan Government said the move was based on a misconception and did not recognise efforts to end graft.
"Obviously it raises concern because it is based on misconception," Justice Minister Martha Karua, who is spearheading Kenya’s anti-corruption fight, told Reuters. The Dutch aid suspension was the latest by donors to hit President Mwai Kibaki’s administration. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund recently said they were delaying millions of dollars in aid to Kenya due to corruption scandals.
