This action was taken under Regulation 44 (2) of the Money Remittance Regulations, 2013. In a separate action, the Kenyan government halted food programs in 17 schools in Kilifi after a video showed pupils allegedly reciting Hindu prayers to receive meals from a donor. Kilifi County Commissioner Josphat Kibiwott ordered an immediate suspension and investigation. Additionally, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) gave a 21-day directive to all County Governments to reorganize dump sites and implement waste separation at the source, as required by the Sustainable Waste Management Act.
