Kenyan Human Rights Lawyer Causes Mass Outrage In Britain with These Controversial Comments

Kenyan Human Rights activist and Lawyer is still licking his wounds after being severely burned by people from Britain over some controversial statements he made.

Maina Kiai who was in London recently in his capacity as an United Nations inspector, decided to criticize Britain’s new counter terror laws.

An excerpt from the Daily Mail Reads “Kenyan human rights chief Maina Kiai condemned the Home Office’s flagship scheme aimed at stopping young Muslims joining Islamic State and calling on teachers to report suspicious activity.He also criticised crucial powers needed by security services to track terror suspects and plans to ban extremist groups.”

Comments that seemed to rub off some Britons the wrong way who went on to point out that Maina should not criticize how Britain decides to handle its affairs  as Kenya’s human rights and terrorism problems are waay bigger than the ones in the U.K.The critics also added that the UN should find a better way of using its resources other than investigating Britain.

 Among his critics former Defence Secretary Liam Fox who said that  ‘With the level of oppression, abuse of human rights and terrorism around the world, I would think the United Nations would have better things to do with its resources and manpower than investigating one of the most peaceful, liberal and free countries. We don’t make contributions to the UN to have them stick their noses into our country – we give them to improve the lot of people who don’t know what freedom and security are.’
