United States Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec has dismissed claims by Nasa that he is meddling in the country’s political matters.
Speaking on Wednesday, Godec stated that his only interest was to ensure that the two countries work together in developing Kenya.
“We have no reason to meddle with Kenyan politics. Our mission here is to partner with this country to spur development, nothing else,” said Mr Godec.
Godec make the remarks after meeting Baringo Governor Stanley Kiptis at his office in Kabarnet.
Nasa leader Raila Odinga had asked Godec to keep off Kenyan affairs.
This is after Godec alongside other envoys had called on NASA to recognize Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency.
Mr Odinga termed the envoys as “hypocrites who are hiding behind so-called democracy” to advance the business interests of their nations.
“Those envoys are hypocrites. Stop interfering with our business in a colonial way. We will not accept to be colonised again,” Mr Odinga said.
