Kenyan Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta resigned three days after the International Criminal Court ordered him to stand trial for inciting violence following a disputed election in 2007.
Kenyatta, 50, will remain as the East African nation’s deputy prime minister, President Mwai Kibaki said in an e-mailed statement today from the capital, Nairobi. Robinson Githae, previously the minister for Nairobi metropolitan development, was appointed as acting finance minister, Kibaki said.
