Kenyatta sworn in amid protests

KENYAN police fired shots to disperse protesters as Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in for a disputed second term as president yesterday.

Three people were reportedly killed at a memorial rally marking the deaths of dozens during four months of unrest spanning two elections.

The first ballot in August was annulled by the Supreme Court over vote-rigging allegations and the second boycotted by the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
