Conversely, others criticize Kenyatta for aligning with Trump, pointing out that the WHO plays a crucial role in global health security, especially for developing countries like Kenya. Critics also highlight the potential negative impacts on global health initiatives and the fight against diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, which rely heavily on WHO support.
