Banned Kenya official to sue US

Kenya\'s attorney general has threatened to sue the US, after Washington imposed a travel ban on him.



Amos Wako has admitted for the first time that he’s the unnamed official who was banned.



There has been much speculation in Kenya about who was the subject of the US ban, announced last month.



The US had said a number of officials were deliberately blocking political reforms following post-poll violence last year.



Mr Wako has accused the US of acting against him for defamatory reasons.



The US has urged Nairobi to clean up its act in order to avoid a repeat of the unrest after the next election.
