http://www.libertynews.com/wp-conten...-4-300x212.jpg While the Obama Administration battles scandals that reveal his administration to be anything but “competent, transparent, and accountable,” Team Obama is sending Kenya fifty million U.S. taxpayer dollars to help make their government more “competent, transparent, and accountable.”
The fifty million dollars is being doled out through USAID’s Kenya Democracy, Rights and Governance Office in Nairobi, Kenya. The purpose of the money is to develop a new Kenyan government program that is supposed to:

In short, the American people are now paying fifty million dollars of their hard-earned money to build potential civic groups, lobbying organizations, elections commissions, and other political infrastructure in the land of Obama’s father’s birth.
Meanwhile, the President refuses to spend the American people’s money to pay for American military pilots to maintain their training flight hours so that they can most effectively respond to international threats at a moment’s notice.

To make matters worse, many critics of this decision are saying that this kind of interference “Could spark the redistribution of political power across the African republic, whose national government is viewed as one of the most notoriously corrupt in the world.”
Furthermore, the Obama Administration is saying that it admits that the decision comes with numerous risks and could backfire, saying, “Efforts to bring about such decentralization, however, may inadvertently create 47 equally corrupt county systems.”
