Kenya risks losing Sh500 million grant to fight Covid-19 after the Treasury failed to formally accept the funds from donors. The Danish embassy had secured a Sh350 million grant from the Danish Global Covid-19 Fund to support dispensaries and health centres in Kenya. The Treasury was expected to receive and send the money to counties through the counties' Special Purpose Account for health funds. He said the Treasury has been unresponsive despite many inquiries by the Danish embassy. "We urge the National Treasury to remove the bottlenecks and give guidelines on how these funds will be absorbed by county governments," Oparanya said.
