President Kenyatta tells off ICC over gag order

President Uhuru Kenyatta has broken his silence on the raging debate on the cases facing Deputy President William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua Sang at the International Criminal Court.

In his speech during Mashujaa Day celebrations at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, President Kenyatta stated that Kenyans will not heed to an order by ICC Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji preventing leaders and the media from discussing the cases facing Ruto and Sang, adding that the prayers rallies will go on.

“I would like to tell those who have been on our neck with the ICC cases to leave us alone and let us build the country,” said President Kenyatta.

“We will not heed to the ICC judge’s order preventing us from praying. We love God and we will continue praying for Ruto and Sang because we know the power of prayers,” said the head of state.

President Kenyatta said that only Kenyans have solutions to their problems and called on the international community to support the country in its endeavors.
