The government has clarified that the country's sovereignty was not undermined when the European parliament debated on the two elections conducted last year.
Through spokesman Eric Kiraithe, the government noted on Thursday that the country's sovereignty is enshrined in the constitution.
“Kenya's sovereignty is well underpinned in the constitution of this country and seriously defended by national security agencies. It cannot be undermined by some of these ordinary acts of day to day life,” he said.
Kiraithe said Kenya is not interested in gauging whether the foreign parliament was justified to debate the disputed August 8 and October 26 elections.
“The Government of Kenya has no intention whatsoever to decide for the European parliament what to discus and what not to discuss,” Kiraithe said.
He added they will study the final report released by EU chief oberver Marietje Shaake
and implement some of the recommendations outlined.
The spokesman noted some of the recommendations will strengthen constitutional institutions and enhance the country's stability.
“We will review all the proposals, even those which serve the prejudices of individuals or which are matters of opinion. We shall study it carefully and create a better Kenya,” he noted.
Kiraithe affirmed that the government has no issue with the manner in which the union conducted its affairs.
“The government has also noted their calls for dialogue between president Uhuru Kenyatta and Nasa leader Raila Odinga. We have institutions which can lay firm foundations for democracy, the economy and human rights."
“We have honest local
institutions which can give us the best way forward, not political bigots."
On Thursday last week, the government, through the Kenyan embassy in Brussels, said it regretted the “premature manner” in which the report was released.
A statement said a meeting with the chief observer was scheduled for January 11 to review the final report.
“The government regrets the unprocedural and premature manner in which the final report was released.”
The Kenyan embassy said the action violated the terms of poll monitoring with the EU.
In the report, Kenya was advised to settle issues of the winner-take-it-all system of government, exclusivity, corruption and ethnic division to curb violence in future.
The European Union noted that the country’s top political leadership should engage in constructive dialogue on democracy.
