The International Criminal Court in The Hague has summoned Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta for a tribunal in early October.
The judges at the court intend to question the president over claims that the Kenyan government withheld documents previously requested by prosecutors, in relation to his trial for crimes against humanity.
Earlier this month, Kenyatta’s trial was delayed indefinitely by prosecutors after they complained of a lack of evidence due to obstruction by the Kenyan government.
In a statement, the ICC said discussions with Mr Kenyatta would focus on "the status of co-operation between the prosecution and the Kenyan government".
The president is accused of inciting ethnic violence after the 2007 elections, which over 1,200 people dead. Kenyatta has denied any involvement in the massacres.
