RailaOdinga, Kenya opposition leader, plans to take the results from last week’s election to court. “This is just the beginning, we will not accept and move on,” he told reporters in the capital Nairobi.
For its part, the government had been shutting down rights groups who raised concerns over the election results. In a letter seen by Reuters, acting Interior Minister Fred Matiang’i instructed Fazul Mohamed, head of the non-government organization coordination board, to suspend action against the organizations for up to 90 days while talks with the government are held.
While the government suspended that order, the suspension did not come until after police and tax authorities raided the Africa Center for Open Governance (AfriCOG), one of the organizations that has regularly highlighted problems with preparations for the vote.
