Kenya is 'disturbed' by comments about President William Ruto reportedly attributed to the United Nations deputy secretary-general in a leaked U.S. classified document, a senior Kenyan official said on Friday.

The BBC, citing a leaked document, reported this week that Amina Mohammed told U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in February that Ruto was "ruthless" and that she "doesn't trust him." Nairobi is a key hub for U.N. operations.
"The president will therefore not be distracted by the information contained in tainted leaked memorandums," he said. "She has the highest regard for President Ruto and his leadership," said Dujarric, adding that Mohammed will visit Nairobi later this month on a pre-planned trip, in which she will meet the president.
