Kenya's Attorney-General Amos Wako has told of the United States over its decision to revoke his visa on the grounds that he was a stumbling block to reforms.

Mr Wako has told a Press conference in Nairobi that he was totally indifferent to the US action but will all the same seek legal redress for "defamatory" statements made about him by Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson when he announced the visa ban in Nairobi last week on Monday.

The A-G denied being a stumbling block to long term reforms popularly known as Agenda 4.

More details soon.

    Wasn't there some other politician who sued the British government for revoking their visa, any chance this is different.

    And in this end of days Amos Wako will wonder what he did for his beloved country Kenya! Nothing! May his innaction and mis-action haunt him forever for all the souls that never lived to get justice! Because justice is one the thing you should never fail to find!
