Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary (CS) Alfred Mutua criticised foreign powers on Wednesday, July 19 for what he termed as false reporting on the situation in Kenya. Mutua in a press statement noted that there were foreign bodies who were making unsubstantiated claims about how the Kenyan government was handling protests. Mutua in his continued criticism of the UN body accused them of penning a false letter riddled with misinformation. The Foreign Affairs CS further dismissed that foreign embassies would engage in a mediation process between President William Ruto and Azimio Leader Raila Odinga. Mutua during his statement was flanked by Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei who on Tuesday, July 18, endorsed a tweet by the Russian Embassy in Kenya criticising the letter written by foreign ambassadors and high commissioners based in Kenya.
