Several Cabinet Ministers called on Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki to lodge a formal complaint about what they called the unfair treatment of Kenya by the United States. The Minister for Roads, Public Works and Housing Raila Odinga told Kenyan media Sunday that a new terror warning by the United States, which promoted Friday’s order closing the U.S. embassy in Nairobi for at least 3 days, is further damaging Kenya’s already fragile economy and worsening the country’s image. Mr. Odinga termed the embassy closure an insult to all Kenyas, saying the United States has not provided his government with any proof that terrorists are active in the east African country. U.S. officials say last Thursday American intelligence agencies uncovered fresh information about a possible Al Qaeda terrorist plot on the three-month-old embassy in Nairobi. The Kenyan government insists it is not dismissing U.S. security concerns. But cabinet ministers say instead of issuing travel warnings and closing the embassy, the United States should assist Kenya more in apprehending the terrorists Washington says are actively operating here.
