Kenyatta’s win to be probed as post-election rioting escalates

KENYA’S electoral commission chief pledged yesterday to probe opposition allegations that Uhuru Kenyatta’s presidential election victory was rigged.

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said that an audit of Tuesday’s election was the most likely response to Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga’s claims the election database was hacked.

Mr Odinga blamed Mr Kenyatta’s Jubilee party for the hacking, which he said used the identity of IEBC information technology manager Christopher Msando, who was found tortured and murdered last Monday.
