Kenya MPs ‘To Back Uhuru Kenyatta At Hague’

Kenya MPs ‘To Back Uhuru Kenyatta At Hague’

From BBC

Scores of Kenyan MPs are preparing to travel to The Hague in support of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is due to appear at the International Criminal Court (ICC) next week.

Kenyatta faces charges of organizing ethnic massacres that killed 1,200 people after the 2007 elections.

Kenyatta denies the charges. His trial has been delayed several times because of a lack of evidence.
