Possible risk of Global Fund cash withdrawal

    JOHANNESBURG
    Kenya risks losing more than US $100 million in new donor funds due to a lack of transparency regarding previous grants, the local Standard newspaper reported on Thursday. The Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has requested a report on how monies allocated for the three diseases since September 2005 were spent. Kenyan NGOs charged that current financial disparities were thwarting their efforts to roll out care and treatment. "For over six months now, our efforts to serve the sick have become more and more financially frustrated," said Dr Ignatius Kibe, coordinator of the Kenya Consortium to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
