Kenya: President Uhuru Kenyatta is today expected to take Jubilee’s war with the opposition to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Nyanza backyard, capping a week of fierce exchanges and political tensions between the two leaders.

And yesterday, Uhuru told The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) to take matters relating to the IEBC to Parliament, which has the constitutional mandate to deal with such matters.
