Opposition against the recent US-Kenya health agreement is mounting as black rights activists punch holes in the strategy, raising concerns over it’s real intention.
An African-American – with an established history of fighting Western imperial interests – has urged Kenya and other African countries to reject the United States’ America First Global Health Strategy
He argues that the policy would have a devastating impact on the continent’s health systems, sovereignty and population.
He contends that while the strategy is presented as a framework for strengthening global health cooperation, Kenya like her African counterparts should view it as the next phase in the United States’ documented agenda for global depopulation, particularly in the Global South.
The concerns were raised during a discussion with journalists in Nairobi in which Ayo Kimathi, the activist, classified the initiative as one of the greatest threats to African survival in the 21st century.
Subsequently, he warned against some of the policies he believes would classify as a modern-day genocide achieved through using health assistance as its cover. He claims Kenya has been specifically targeted as a country for this agenda.
“This initiative, along with others such as the Genetically Modified Organisms- GMOS replacement of ancestral seeds, must be subjected to public debate, expert review, global scrutiny, and definitive rejection” he emphasized. Ayo, who was in the country recently, strongly believes that there’s a sinister motive behind this initiative, namely depopulation of the African continent.
The U.S. government has described the America First Global Health Strategy as a roadmap for advancing global health security, preventing disease outbreaks, strengthening health systems and promoting equitable access to healthcare through international partnerships. Those who support the initiative such as President William Ruto, say the strategy is intended to improve collaboration with partner countries and address shared health challenges.
Ruto described the Strategy as a landmark 5-year, bilateral partnership, which consists of $1.6 billion in U.S. funding and $850 million in Kenyan domestic financing.
“It shifts healthcare funding away from non-governmental organizations directly to state institutions, driving Kenya toward health sovereignty by 2030,” Ruto stated when he put his signature on the document.
The activist’s concerns add to an ongoing debate over the role of foreign-funded health initiatives in Africa, with supporters emphasizing the benefits of international cooperation and critics calling for greater transparency, accountability and locally driven health policies.
Kimathi alleged that the strategy resembles previous international health initiatives which he claimed were presented as humanitarian assistance but ultimately wiped out large native populations only to advance the interests of powerful groups. “A particular interest group – who wields incredible influence over the governments of the United States and other Western nations and have the objective of reducing the global population – are behind this strategy,” he further claimed.
He insists that vaccination programs have been used as a primary means for large-scale population reduction and alleged that the COVID-19 pandemic was caused by a deliberately released bioweapon. He further asserted that hospital treatment protocols, rather than COVID-19 itself, were responsible for many deaths during the pandemic.
To support his claims, his organization Social Architects 26, LLC released their first SA26 21st Century Afrikan Survival Position Paper #1 on May 19, 2026.
