ICC spokesman said the court would report Kenya to the Assembly of State Parties if the government goes ahead to implement President Kenyatta’s declaration.
The President had on Saturday said that Kenya would be cutting its ties with ICC.
Monday, Mr Abdallah said the court was aware of the declaration by President Kenyatta.
The ICC on Monday warned that Kenya risks punishment by the Assembly of States Parties if it fails to hand over three suspects wanted in The Hague on charges of tampering with witnesses.
Even though the court has not formally received a notification of non-cooperation from the government, its spokesman, Mr Fadi el Abdallah, Monday said the court would report Kenya to the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) if the government goes ahead to implement President Uhuru Kenyatta’s declaration.
