Trump Administration Spares Kenya from Immigration Ban Amid New Deals and Allegations - December 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a new directive pausing all immigration applications from 19 non-European countries, but Kenya was notably spared from the ban. This development coincided with President William Ruto's visit to the U.S. on Trump's invitation. In a separate development, the White House implicated Kenya as a recipient of alleged fraud proceeds from a scheme involving Somali migrants in the United States, as part of the Trump Administration's criticism of US refugee and asylum policies. Whistleblower Nelson Amenya also revealed an alleged 25-year health security pact between the Kenyan government and the Trump administration. This deal would reportedly grant the US real-time access to all Kenyan health records and allow sharing of disease specimens.

Nelson Amenya, known for exposing the Adani deal, has revealed an alleged agreement between the Kenyan government and President Donald Trump's administration for a 25-year health security pact. This deal, according to Amenya, would grant the US government real-time access to all Kenyan health records and allow sharing of disease specimens with US pharmaceutical companies.

  • The alleged agreement would give the US government 24-hour system access to Kenya's national health databases and the right to conduct random audits of 5 percent of health facilities.
  • The pact would allow disease specimens from Kenya to be used for vaccine development by the US with zero guaranteed benefits for Kenya for 25 years.
  • Amenya claims the agreement would be governed by US federal law, rendering Kenya's Data Protection Act, Health Act, and Digital Health Act ineffective, and potentially leading to heavy funding cuts if Kenya declines to comply.
