Graft Cases May Scare Away Donors- Lobbyists

By PETER KOMBE

Lobbyists working with people living with human immunodeficiency virus victims have expressed fear of the ongoing allegations of graft saying they risk scaring away donors.

The lobbyist pointed that donors may cut short their funding thus curtails the delivery of essential services to HIV victims.

Addressing the media in Mombasa during a food distribution exercise to HIV infected victims, Dream Achievers Youth Organization programs coordinator Enos Opiyo said the pandemic has affected all sectors including organizations working with people living with HIV.

He lamented an increase of Sexual Transmitted diseases and gender based violence cases coupled with rapid unemployment.

“We are afraid that the cases of graft reported in the media risk scaring donors. And this hinders the delivery of services to people living with HIV,” he noted

Meanwhile, Dr Khadija Awadh an Ministry of health official in charge of Mvita Clinic called on parents to ensure their children stay safe during this period the country is combating the spread of covid19.

She reiterated the county’s commitment in the provision of efficient health services to the locals.

“Parents should join hands with us in order to facilitate service delivery during this period of COVID19.

At the same time Joseph Wachira an official from the Aids Healthcare Foundation Kenya said COVID-19 has negatively impacted dozens of Kenyans throughout the country.

He explains that there is a need to cushion HIV infected families with food and nutrition supplies.

He noted “Thousands of young people have lost their jobs during this period. We are working closely with counties to cushion such people and relieve them from the pangs of COVID-19.

The program dubbed “Breaking resilience against COVID19 in Kenya” seeks to cushion people living with HIV and recovering drug addicts with food ration and hygiene amenities..

It targets youths aged between 18 and 34 years of age.
