Naona Attorney General Amos Wako naye anataka independent probe. Kibaki baki kajifungia tu Ikulu. Inaelekea anakataa hata kuonana na Tutu.
NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Attorney General on Thursday called for an independent probe into Kenya's election after a day of battles in Nairobi between police and demonstrators disputing the re-election of President Mwai Kibaki.
The opposition called off a rally in a central park, saying it wanted to save lives, after a day of fighting during which police fired live rounds in the air and smoke billowed over the city slums.
But it scheduled another public meeting for next Tuesday.
Piling the pressure on Kibaki, Attorney General Amos Wako said in a statement: "It is necessary ... that a proper tally of the valid certificates returned and confirmed should be undertaken immediately on a priority basis by an agreed and independent person or body."
After stocks took a hit on Wednesday, the Nairobi Stock Exchange closed on Thursday due to the mayhem. The shilling, which slumped 5 percent in the previous session, bounced 1.3 percent against the dollar before trading was suspended on Thursday.
Tea and coffee auctions were postponed.
From dawn, riot police were out in force as the city slowly transformed into an all-out battleground.
