By PATRICK LANG'ATMore by this AuthorUnited Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has been accused of bowing to pressure from the United States to sack the Kenyan general who was heading the South Sudan peace mission. Lieutenant-General Johnson Mogoa Kimani Ondieki was fired early this month, triggering protests from the Kenyan government. UN had accused Lt-Gen Ondieki of “chaotic and ineffective response” during heavy fighting in the capital Juba on July 8-11. The report, Children of a Lesser God, produced by the International Policy Group, says the late response was not the Kenyan general’s mistake. When the UN announced its decision, the agency accused the Kenyan General of lack of leadership in the mission.
