NCCK urges Uhuru Kenyatta to attend ICC trial

{The National Council of Churches (NCCK) has urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to attend his trial at the International Criminal Court.}

NCCK urged the ICC to conclude the cases facing the Kenyan leaders at The Hague “as soon as possible” and ensure justice for victims, witnesses and the suspects.

The churches’ council accused the government of clawing back Kenyan freedoms by targeting the media and non-governmental organisation.

Rev Canon Peter Karanja, speaking on behalf of the council, urged the withdrawal of the Bill in the National Assembly seeking to control NGOs

“By seeking to control the NGOs and the media, the government is essentially seeking to muzzle the institutions that hold it to account,” the NCCK general secretary said.
