KENYA: A Nairobi court Wednesday gave political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi, who is facing ethnic contempt charges, more time to settle the matter out of court.

Mr Ngunyi's lawyers, Jennifer Shamala and Michael Amalemba, told the court that their client had written to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to notify it of his intended reconciliation.
