Kenyans Labelled 'thieves' By President by kozmokaz(m): 7:27am On Feb 26, 2016 |
Kenyans are "experienced in stealing and perpetuating other
crimes", the president has said, during a state visit to
Israel.
Uhuru Kenyatta added that Kenya was "20 times more
wonderful" than Israel, but "all we ever do is complain".
Kenyans were also abusers, and promoted tribalism, he
said, in an address to Kenyans living in Israel.
Mr Kenyatta has been accused of failing to do enough to
curb corruption and of stirring up ethnic violence.
His comments were seen as an attempt to encourage
Kenyans to develop their country, like Israel, says the BBC's
Wanyama Chebusiri in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
He seemed to question why Kenya was lagging behind, and
had to even learn about irrigation from a desert country, our
correspondent adds.
However, many Kenyans believe that the president's speech
was just rhetoric, and he was not serious about tackling
corruption or ethnic divisions in the East African state, our
reporter says.
They complain that ethnicity determines whether they get
government jobs, and bribery and corruption are endemic in
government, he adds.
Mr Kenyatta was accused by the International Criminal
Court (ICC) of crimes against humanity for allegedly inciting
ethnic violence after elections in 2007, in which more than
1,200 Kenyans were killed.
But the case was dropped in 2014 after the prosecutor's
office said it did not have enough evidence against him.
He always denied the charges. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35663018 |
