Kenya's rival politicians today postponed negotiations brokered by former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan after the killing of an opposition MP.
"We have postponed this afternoon's session and we will work all day tomorrow so that the leaders can attend to urgent matters and call their constituents," Annan told reporters.
The postponement came after the MP, David Kimutai Too, was shot dead in the Rift Valley town of Eldoret, the second MP from the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to be killed this week.

The last thing that needs to be done is make this a military matter. I think the only thing that should be done is solve this with diplomacy.
