A Human Rights Watch report has revealed that a $100 million of Kenya’s coronavirus fund has been saddled by nepotism and cronyism.
According to the report on covid19 spending by the Kenyan government, Kenya’s program designed to help families in need during the COVID-19 pandemic has significant failings.
A cash transfer fund worth $100 million was plagued by nepotism and cronyism, says the report.
The report further revealed that only a small fraction of the cash transfer reached those in need.
It added that the Kenyan government officials failed to follow selection criteria and to share information transparently.
