The fund on September 7 wrote to the Kenya judging team, which handled the process, cancelling the awards.
The judging team is an independent team consisting of some 23 member organizations pooled from the @UN bilateral partners and civil society, called the Kenya Coordinating Mechanism.
The members include the @WHO, @UNDP, United the Nations Population Fund as well as @USAID.
The fund said it noted there were flaws in the "financial evaluation part of the procurement process" which should be resolved to ensure "Kenya's eligibility for the funding request".
The @KenyaRedCross had won the HIV tender since 2012, grants that were always renewed every three years, while @Amref_Kenya always had the TB tender. Both organizations had scored between A1, the donors' ranking which is equivalent to scoring between 89 and 100 per cent.
Dr. Asha Mohammed of @KenyaRedCross said it had come as a surprise that the organization had not performed well enough.
Dr. Meshack Ndirangu, @Amref_Kenya Director, said the organization had won the award through a public procurement process.
As long as the stalemate stands, the utilisation of the money has been put on hold and this puts the lives of millions on the line.
Some 1.5 million HIV patients require antiretroviral medication and there is no diagnosis and treatment of TB, Kenya's fifth killer and malaria kills 21,000 people each year, majority of whom are children under five.
The @GlobalFund money supports other services such as nutrition and cash transfers for the most vulnerable.

I have been on the list of shame of those Members of Parliament that have never spoken. I take this opportunity to apologize to the people of Lamu for putting them on the papers for the wrong reasons. - @MuthoniMarubu #BungeLiveNA
I happen to be those students who happen to be very average. I start very slowly. I remember when I went to primary school, I scored 258/500. I went to Lamu Gorls High School and I made it a B and I went to university, I graduated with first class honours. - @MuthoniMarubu
@MuthoniMarubu I believe, even after starting very slowly I will do the people of Lamu right. - @MuthoniMarubu #BungeLiveNA

I am actually surprised that after they've won the election, the "ground" does not seem to matter and those people don't seem to matter. I just want to warn them that if you don't listen to the ground right now, kitawaramba when the time actually comes. - @Lesuuda#BungeLiveNA
I want to tell the same hustlers who have been forgotten that once the 16% fuel levy is increased, they will really feel the pinch because the cost of living will actually go up and even the cost of manufacturing will go up. - @Lesuuda#BungeLiveNA
We're saying we're creating jobs but if the manufacturers and the investors will run away from this country, how will we be creating employment. - @Lesuuda#BungeLiveNA
