Explosions at Kenya rally kill 5, wound 75

“I want to say clearly that the government will do everything possible to get to the root of this incident. We must condemn this,’’ Odinga said. “Kenyans can decide peacefully what they want’’ concerning the constitution.

The campaign against the draft constitution opposes a clause that would allow abortion to save a mother’s life. Opponents also don’t like a clause that would recognize informal courts used by Kenya’s Islamic community.

A prominent backer of the campaign against the draft, William Ruto, the minister of higher education, called the attack “the darkest hour of our nation.’’ He said the explosions would not deter the campaign against the draft constitution.

“Innocent blood has been shed by people with evil desires, and we are calling upon the police to take action,’’ Ruto said. “The decision of whether we are going to have a new constitution or not belongs to the people of Kenya, and they have the right to say this or not. Those of us who are saying ‘no’ have committed no crime.’’
