UN boss snubs Kenya’s President elect UHURU MUIGAI KENYATTA

  United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has followed the lead set by Western Countries by failing to congratulate Uhuru Kenyatta for winning last Monday’s Presidential election and instead congratulating Kenyans for a peaceful election.

In a statement released on Saturday, the UN boss had “noted the results" of Kenya's election and he "congratulates the people of Kenya for their impressive determination to participate peacefully in the elections, and for the patience they have demonstrated while awaiting the results."

This follows a trend set by most Western Countries which on Saturday congratulated Kenya for a ‘peaceful election’ but snubbed Uhuru. The US gave its response through Secretary of State John Kerry who also snubbed Uhuru.

The West is giving Kenya the cold shoulder because the presumptive winner of Monday’s election Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto are both facing charges of crimes against humanity at the Hague.
