Government yesterday blacklisted or suspended five non-governmental organisations (NGOs)and announced continuing investigations into activities of several others for alleged forgery and fleecing billions of shillings from unsuspecting beneficiaries, service providers and funders.
In a major crackdown on suspected underhand-dealings in the NGO fraternity, which some activists said could be used as a ruse to justify existing repression against civil society, the government declared that many superintendents of the organisations were not trust-worthy people.
