President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday announced that there was a plan by international communities to influence the outcome of the 2017 General Election.
Speaking during the 53rd Jamhuri Day Celebrations, Kenyatta firmly stated that Kenya would not allow foreign countries to interfere with upcoming polls.
''There is already money coming into Kenya from abroad in the guise of supporting good governance or civic education. However, its true intention is to influence our electoral choices.
''I want to caution those members of the International Community taking these actions that the Kenyan people do not look kindly on such actions. I urge all Kenyans to reject such interference. This is our country, and no one should ever try and control our choices for their selfish interests,'' Kenyatta stated.
The Head of State added that after the experience at the International Criminal Court (ICC), Kenya would now reconsider its membership claiming the court lacked impartiality.
''We have sought the changes that will align the ICC to respect for national sovereignty. Those changes have not been forthcoming. We will therefore need to give serious thought to our membership,'' Uhuru affirmed.
The President further promised that Kenya would never engage in violence adding that ''anyone who lets political competition tip into hatred of another Kenyan is utterly unworthy of their sacrifice''.
