ICC cautions Kenya on Kenyatta media leaks
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has warned Kenya's government
against leaking information from President Uhuru Kenyatta's case to the
media.
Mr Kenyatta became the first serving head of state to appear at an ICC hearing earlier this month.
He denies charges of crimes against humanity, including inciting violence after Kenya's disputed 2007 polls.
But the court says it is concerned over the Kenyan government's ability to ensure confidentiality of the case.
In a report released on Tuesday,
the ICC's Trial Chamber V specifically referred to the leaking of
details of a confidential request from the ICC judges to help freeze or
seize President Kenyatta's assets.
The request was issued under seal, however, the Kenyan authorities filed
public documents in 2013 referring to the request, which Mr Kenyatta's
lawyers later apologised for.
