Kenya has been dragged to the standoff in South Sudan, which has seen Africa's youngest nation struggle to end a political crisis.
President Salva Kiir and his nemesis Riek Machar failed to form a transitional government by November 12th, pushing for an extension of another 6 months.
The opposition had accused Kiir of failing to release USD100 million for the peace deal, leading to the delay in the formation of a unity government.
But a report released on Monday by UN Panel of Experts now accuses Kenya of little commitment towards solving the crisis.
Kenya, on its part, has “not demonstrated sufficient political and diplomatic will to consistently support the peace process,” the panel said in a report to the UN Security Council.
In July, President Uhuru Kenyatta held a meeting with Salva Kiir in Nairobi but the UN says nothing substantive was yielded from the meeting.
“The bilateral meetings between the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, and Mr Kiir in Nairobi on 1 and 2 July 2019 have not led to the sustained presence and pressure necessary to fully implement the pre-transitional provisions of the agreement,” the experts said.
Also, UN accuses Kenya of failing to implement sanctions imposed on certain leaders including blocking them from travelling and banking.
For instance, the UN claimed, Paul Malong, a former military commander, is usually in Nairobi despite the travel ban.
“Malong has been responsible for the SPLA and its allied forces’ perpetration of serious abuses, including attacks on civilians, forced displacement, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, torture, and rape.”
