Are we still discussing this..
USAID is a direct arm of the US government. So it has to tune its operations to the policies of Washington which are nothing but, having a government as friendly to the US as possible.
Washington changed tact along time ago over how to topple governments, they don't send the CIA with secret weapons to assassinate, or arm rag tag militias. That was the 60's 70's and 80's
Nowdays the 'change' has to be seen to come from within...but for the interest of the Washington
Anybody here ever read or connected the Republican Institute and its manoeuvres in Egypt?

The Northern Frontiers (Turkana, Pokot, Marsabit etc) are ripe for conflict all you need is to arm a few militia there and have them declare semi autonomy
Northern Kenya can simply be left to Alshabaab to keep KDF busy.
Coast is already a powder keg ready for direction, Pwani si Kenya, Al shabaab etc
Western Kenya would be all too glad to have semi autonomous status if money came in from somewhere.. That leaves Kenya just around Nairobi.
So seriously, breaking up this country does not need street demos. If the world powers decided it has to be. It will be.
The problem here is GoK insiders (wenye nchi) and the real world powers are trying to strike a balance.
I am thinking the West is saying, "If you must eat, Eat within our circles and influence' while Kitchen cabinet thinks there are cookies even in the East, North, South, Inside... so waachwe wakule!
while we (our politicians) work for short term (every election cycle, 5-10yrs) gains as Individuals (family) in Afrika. the think tanks work for the longterm benefits of their businesses and countries.. 20 years. 40 years.. etc
