Sing’Oei Condemns Unconstitutional Power Changes Amid Poland’s Political Crisis

Kenya’s Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Korir Sing’Oei, said unconstitutional changes of government must be rejected in Africa and Europe and that Kenya was following developments in Poland with concern. The crisis pits Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government against the Law and Justice party, which appointed several judges to the Constitutional Tribunal. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek is seeking to lift the immunity of tribunal president Bogdan Święczkowski and vice-president Bartłomiej Sochański so they can face criminal charges. President Karol Nawrocki, backed by PiS, returned to Warsaw after cancelling a trip to Senegal, while riot police were deployed outside the court amid protests.
