Kenya’s chief legal adviser has urged for an independent investigation into the disputed presidential election result that has thrown the country into days of chaos and death.
Attorney General Amos Wako said serious doubt had been established over the presidential election result as announced by the Electoral Commission.
Mr Wako, breaking days of silence, said: “A proper tally of the valid certificates returned and confirmed should be undertaken immediately and on a priority basis by an agreed and independent person or body.”
The AG said his position took into consideration the allegations by the rival parties that their votes had been rigged and the fact that some electoral commissioners, including the polls chief Samuel Kivuitu, have questioned the veracity of the result.

Any legal basis of the Kibaki govt has fallen apart. The only viable solution is for Kibaki to step down and allow the democratically elected govt of Raila to take over. Kenynas have matured politically and will not allow the govt to supress their democratic rights. We have worked so hard to get to where we are now and will make sure that the rule os law and the democratic process is obeyed by all. That is the only way os quaranteeing a peaceful, just and fair country for our children.
