Donor countries should not peg African funding on certain conditions, a Cabinet minister has said.

Environment minister John Michuki told parliamentarians at a forum on sustainable development and aid effectiveness that the conditions tied to funding are normally "irrelevant" to the African situation.

"These people should stop micromanaging us."

The remarks were shared by the deputy Speaker Farah Maalim who said that "foreign aid cannot solve the problems of African countries."

Speaking during the closing ceremony of the three-day forum that focused on climate change, poverty reduction and food security, at Windsor hotel, Mr Maalim said aid was a "dubious attempt to curtail the sovereignty of African countries."

"If you give me aid, let it be upon me to decide what I want to use the aid for," Mr Michuki said.

At the same time, Mr Michuki restated the government's commitment towards climate change. He said that a technical committee had already begun its work to ascertain the risks posed by climate change to the people.

On his part, the deputy speaker said Parliament would form a House Business Committee to address climate change.
