What this amendment would do

SA 3628, submitted by Mr. Risch, aims to add a new section to bill S. 2296 regarding the review of Kenya's major non-NATO ally status, which was granted on June 24, 2024.

The purpose of this amendment is to require the Secretary of State, working with other officials, to conduct a review and provide a classified report to Congress. This report must include:

  • An assessment of Kenya's relationship with the U.S. regarding economic partnership, United Nations peacekeeping, and peace and security in Haiti and Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as countering violent extremism.

  • Details on the military, security, political, and financial links between Kenya's government and key actors and China, Iran, and the Russian Federation.

  • An assessment of Kenya's relationships with violent extremist organizations and nonstate armed groups, specifically al-Shabaab and the Rapid Support Forces.

  • An assessment of trade and investment with China, specifically bilateral debt, commercial ties, and the Belt and Road Initiative.

  • An assessment of whether Kenya serves as a financial safe haven for foreign terrorist organizations and entities on the Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list.

  • An assessment of how Kenya uses U.S. intelligence support and security assistance, including impacts on violence against civilians, renditions, torture, and abductions.
