President Uhuru Kenyatta Wednesday reignited controversy over the 2007/8 post-election violence that saw him and his deputy William Ruto appear before the International Criminal Court.

Speaking in Kisii County, Uhuru said Opposition leader Raila Odinga, who rejected the election results, played a role in the chaos that claimed over 1,133 lives.
