US Denies Meddling in Kenya's Political Affairs
The United States has responded to claims by National Super Alliance (Nasa) that it is interfering with Kenya's internal political affairs.
Speaking in Kabarnet, Baringo county on Wednesday, US Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec dismissed the claims by the Kenyan opposition, stating that US is only interested in the country's development.
“The US is absolutely committed to working with the government in dealing with these problems and to continue to build the country,” said Godec.
“We have no reason to meddle with Kenyan politics. Our mission here is to partner with this country to spur development, nothing else,” said Godec.
He said America is focused on addressing issues such as corruption, which has been a cancer in the country's development agenda.
“Corruption is another impediment to development in this country. It must be put to a stop for Kenyans to receive services,” he added.
He pointed out that US has financed some key development programs in the health, agriculture and security sectors.
Last week, a section of opposition supporters staged a protest outside US embassy in Gigiri, Nairobi to demand for the resignation of Godec.
Nasa has been accusing Godec of being “partisan” and siding with the government on several issues, especially ones surrounding presidential elections.

Amb. Godec is right, it is not in American interest to meddle in Kenya's political outcomes but to help Kenya move forward with it's development agenda for the benefit of all Kenyans... Raila who used to be the US darling is now upset that US did not condone his unconstitutional oath for office taking which had and still has the potential for igniting a civil war.. Raila reacted by ordering demonstrations outside US Embassy in Gilgil which included US flag burning... I thought Raila was more politically astute than that but I was wrong... He should know he can not blackmail US like he constantly blackmails Kenya with violence... The thunderbolt that will strike Raila is still thinking about how in State Dept. in Washington DC...
