President Kenyatta Sunday told off the West for imposing travel advisories against Kenya, saying tourists from other countries will visit Kenya.

In an uncharacteristic tough language, President Kenyatta accused the West of double standards in the war against terrorism.

"A former US President once said 'you are either with us or against us.' But when we are hit, they say 'ni shauri yetu' (you are on your own)," said President Kenyatta.

He was speaking in Kikuyu, Kiambu County after attending a thanksgiving service at Alliance High School.

ADVISORIES

US, Britain and other countries have warned their nationals against visiting Kenya for fear of terrorist attacks.

Last week, Britain evacuated some of its nationals.

"Kenya hii ni yetu na tutaijenga. ...wachukue watu wao lakini utalii utaendelea, tutatafuta nchi zingine, tutapigana na ugaidi, na hatutakubali vitisho" (Kenya is our country and we will develop it. Even if they take their tourists, we will look for others. We will fight terrorists and we will not be cowed," added the President.
