Washington, DC — Kenya is not doing enough to apprehend a Rwandan accused of crimes against humanity, the UN Security Council has been told.
Mr Hassan Jallow, a prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, said in a report to the council that while the Kenyan Government recently froze assets of one of Mr Kabuga's properties, "nothing else appeared to have been done."
Kenya must now conduct an active search for Mr Kabuga, who has been seen several times in the country, Mr Jallow said.
He suggested that the Security Council press Kenya to "urgently fulfil" its international obligations to cooperate in the hunt for the alleged orchestrator of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
Mr Jallow's concerns were echoed on Wednesday by US ambassador to the UN Zalmay Khalilzad, who said he was "troubled" by reports that Kenya is not cooperating adequately in the search for Mr Kabuga.
There is documentary evidence of Mr Kabuga's entry into Kenya in 1994 as well as the issuance to him of a Kenya resident visa and a business permit, Mr Jallow told the council.
