{{Kenya’s President Elect will be arrested if he dares step on Botswana soil, a foreign affairs Minister of the Southern Africa country has warned. }} <\/p>\n

Botswana has said Kenya President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta is not welcome in the country if he refuses to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC).<\/p>\n

“If he refuses to go (to The Hague), then we have a problem. That means that they do not know the rule of law. You can\u2019t establish a court and refuse to go when it calls you. If he refuses, he won\u2019t set foot here,\u201d Botswana’s Foreign Affairs Minister Phandu Skelemani told local press.<\/p>\n

The ICC has charged Mr Kenyatta with crimes against humanity for bearing the greatest responsibility for the post election violence in which 1,133 people died and 650,000 were displaced. <\/p>\n

He is due to stand trial on July 9.<\/p>\n
