KENYA: Watatu wafariki wakisheherekea ushindi wa Uhuru Kenyatta huku msichana 1 akiuawa kwa kupigwa risasi ktk ghasia huko Mathare.

=====
A young girl was shot dead by police firing "sporadic shots" at protesters in Mathare, a witness said. The neighborhood is loyal to Opposition leader Raila Odinga, whose party has rejected the results of Tuesday's vote as a "charade".

A government official told reporters another man was killed in Kisumu county.

Kisumu's main hospital was treating four people brought in overnight with gun-shot wounds and six who had been beaten by police, hospital records showed.

=======

Three people were killed in Nakuru county during celebrations marking President Uhuru's re-election on Friday night.

Two died in Mai Mahiu as a vehicle rammed into Jubilee supporters who flooded the streets as soon as IEBC declared Uhuru winner.

Scores were injured after which irate residents torched the vehicle and blocked the Mai Mahiu-Limuru road.

James Njoroge, a witness, said the driver failed to slow down and ended up ramming part of the crowd.

"The injured were rushed to various hospitals with one of them dying on the way. Irate residents burnt the vehicle as those inside escaped," he said.

He said residents engaged police in running battled for a few hours before normalcy returned.

Another man was killed by a speeding car on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway while he celebrated Jubilee's win.
 
Hii nini sasa, ndiyo katiba yasema hivyo ku shot and kill?
 
polisi hawa wmevunja sheria... mimi nilidhani huwa wana piga warning shots angani kutawanisha protesters...sio kupiga risasi watu wanafanya protests...
 
That for all intents and purposes was unintended. She was playing on the roof while the police were probably shooting in the air to scare others. What i cannot however understand is why live bullets are used to quell riots. We need to collectively evolve as Kenyans
