20 November 2017

This morning the Supreme Court dismissed the petitions contesting the rerun of the presidential elections and declared them free and fair.  President Uhuru Kenyatta will be sworn in on 28th Nov...another public holiday which will disrupt my clinic schedule.

I am in Voi, 160km outside of Mombasa.  All is quiet on the coast.  There has been violence in Nairobi and Western with two people killed.  Raila Odinga is in Zanzibar.  The government has said that they are willing to talk to the opposition about moving forward and reinvigorating the economy but not about the elections which for them are over and done with.

This is a very divided country with many challenges ahead.
