Kenya’s government said the International Criminal Court’s decision to summon six officials, including Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, sends a signal that the East African nation is a “failed state.”
The government’s challenge of the ICC’s jurisdiction to try the cases is a bid to “show the world that Kenya is a progressive, not a regressive state,” government spokesman Alfred Mutua told reporters today in Nairobi, the capital.
