Kenya's peace deal goes before Parliament

The power-sharing deal to end Kenya's post-election crisis went before parliament today.

Kenya's parliament has unanimously passed the first of two laws required to enact a power-sharing deal designed to end the country's bloody post-election crisis.
In a 200-0 vote, the legislature approved the constitutional amendment making positions in the cabinet for a prime minister and two deputies.


MPs are lobbying for cabinet positions at the moment, and the Rift Valley has its demands.

Kenyan police today rejected a report by a U.S.-based rights group that said officers had used excessive force and applied double standards during the country's deadly post-election crisis.

I am not surprised by this at all, are you?The photo and video coverage alone that we all saw, tells the story, despite what the police are saying.

About Me

Tamtam
I have decided to start this blog, because since December 30th 2007, my life and the life of most Kenyans took a massive turn. I have been inundated with calls and emails from friends , relatives outside Kenya, and colleagues, to check on the situation in Kenya. I find that I am giving daily updates to everyone, relaying the same information daily, and it will be easier to use the blog as an information source. Feel free to leave comments or email me your opinion at tamtam754@gmail.com
