THE HAGUE: Kenya’s most senior government lawyer rejected claims yesterday it was obstructing the International Criminal Court’s investigation into crimes against humanity allegedly committed by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Prosecutors say Kenya’s government has hindered access to bank and telephone records which they consider essential to secure a conviction on charges that Kenyatta orchestrated violence that swept Kenya after elections in 2007.
The case is a test of the authority and credibility of the court, which has seen several cases collapse and secured just one conviction in 11 years.
