The Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta, says he disagrees with a Supreme Court ruling that declared the recent presidential poll null and void because of irregularities, but says he will respect the decision. The leader of the main opposition alliance, Raila Odinga, said members of the electoral commission had committed "a monstrous crime" against the people of Kenya and should be jailed.
