However, the news was met with frustration and stress by some. However, a prominent international official does not appear to be interested in the plan.  ,
Uhuru Kenyatta, the former president of Kenya, addressed the East Africa Region Global Health Security Summit this week and suggested that international officials, at least those in Africa, should stop panicking and discover better ways to take care of themselves. It was really quite interesting:  ,
Individuals the other day crying,'” Oh, I don’t recognize, Trump has removed money. He said he’s no giving us again money… ‘ Why are you crying? It’s never your state. It’s never your state. He has no reason to give you everything. You don’t give fees in America. He is appealing to his individuals… This is a wake-up phone for you to claim,’ Okay, what are we doing to do to help ourselves’? Rather of crying, what are we going to do… to help ourselves? Since no one will be around to offer you more, it is time to employ our resources wisely. We are the ones who misuse them for the bad purposes.  ,
His statement was met with a few applause and laughter.

” We lost more lives to Africans ‘ bullets than to coronavirus,” says the statement. And we have committed more to suicide than we have to safeguarding our society and our health, he said, adding,” Africa can harness its potential and guarantee that its money is used to advance its own development and ensure the well-being of its folks.” ”  ,
Although I’ll say that Africa’s not my area of expertise, this Uhuru Kenyatta appears to be quite smart. He seems far more brilliant than the majority of Americans, he seems. When the Trump presidency made a similar announcement regarding different domestic help plans earlier this year, I noticed some ridiculous articles on X. Comments like this one:  ,
