The government has been asked to stand up for the rights of Kenyans and defy terrorism demands by Britain and the United States. In angry reactions to a decision by the US to close its Nairobi embassy over terrorism fears, MPs said Kenya should look after its own interests, rather than dancing to the tune of other countries. They termed Washington's decision "unfair", "unwarranted" and "uncalled for" and described Kenya as "an innocent victim" of terrorism.
