President Ruto had on July 15 trained his guns on the Ford Foundation claiming it is the financier of the protests spreading anarchy. "Those behind sponsoring the chaos in the republic of Kenya I want to tell them shame on them! Because they are sponsoring violence against our democratic nation. I want to ask the Ford Foundation to tell us they are sponsoring violence for what benefit?" the President stated.
However, on July 20, the Ford Foundation insisted on a transparent grant framework following Kenya's demand for disclosures on Sh946 million extended to Kenyan grantees in just a year. The response followed a formal inquiry from Kenya to the Ford Foundation listing 16 rights groups that benefited from over Sh900 million funding allegedly linked to chaos during the recent protests.
