An editorial board of US based Washington Post has urged US President Donald Trumpto take action against Uhuru Kenyatta's government.
The Trump administration has been urged to enforce sanctions, for violating democracy in Kenya.
The paper has asked to issue warning to President Uhuru Kenyatta of punitive actions if he did not stop the unlawful crackdown on Opposition leaders.
"The Trump administration should warn him of U.S. punitive actions,including, sanctions if he does not stop.Kenya’s African neighbours and Western donors ought to be demanding that the President reverse course before it is too late," reads the paper.
The Jubilee regime was also condemned for shutting down three media stations for covering the 'swearing-in' of NASA leader Raila Odinga.
"The President warned Kenyan television stations not to cover the event, then shut down four of them when they did," the article read in part.
"That was a clear violation of the country’s constitution, and when a court ordered the stations reopened, the government did not respond."
The Washington Post further accused President Kenyatta of being vindictive after the Supreme Court nullified his August 8 election win in the historic ruling.
