Foreign Affairs PS Korir Sing'oei tells off Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong'o over Kenya's foreign policy on Gaza, Israel war
Foreign Affairs PS Korir Sing’oei tells off Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o over Kenya’s foreign policy on Gaza, Israel war.
In response to Governor Nyong’o’s remarks denouncing Israel for its war on Gaza, the PS stated that implementation of foreign policy is solely the mandate of the National Government.
Gov Nyong’o had in his statement released on Tuesday called on African countries to break ties with Israel because of the attacks on Gaza.
He said the AU leadership should condemn what Israel is doing adding that African countries should also end diplomatic ties with Israel.
“We would like to appeal to progressive forces in Africa, led by AU to call upon its member governments to immediately break diplomatic ties with Israel in solidarity with our comrades in Gaza and West Bank,” part of the statement read.
Nyong’o blamed Israel for the ongoing war saying it has ignored calls to stop the attacks.

“It is now clear that Zionists Israel, much against the interest of all progressive forces in the Arab world and Israel herself, is planning a major bloody invasion of Gaza and the West Bank sooner than later,” part of the statement read.
However, the Foreign Affairs PS on Thursday moved to clarify the statement saying it does not reflect the position of the Kenyan government.
“Foreign policy is the exclusive domain of the National Government. Kenya abhors the gross violation of international humanitarian law in Gaza. It has not taken any decision to sever diplomatic ties with Israel nor is the matter under consideration,” the PS said.
“Kenya continues to call for an immediate ceasefire and resumption of dialogue to resolve the difficult issues that underpin the current escalation.”
