Kenyan governor released
The governor of Lamu county arrested in connection with the murder of 65 people on the coast this month denied responsibility after a court freed him on bail on Monday.
Issa Timamy was arrested last Wednesday over the gun attacks, which President Uhuru Kenyatta blamed on local political networks rather than the Somali rebel group al Shabaab which claimed responsibility.
Prosecutors said they still intended to charge Timamy with murder, forceful transfer of populations and terrorism related offences, over the killings in the Mpeketoni area of Lamu, the worst attacks since last September’s al Shabaab raid on a shopping mall in Nairobi in which 67 were killed.
But ethnic rivalries have festered for decades in Lamu and neighbouring Tana River where more than 100 people were killed in 2012 and 2013 in fighting over water and grazing land.
Ethnic violence has erupted in the past in Kenya, notably after a contested 2007 election when about 1,200 people were killed in tribal clashes.
Raila Odinga, a former prime minister has said talks are needed between the opposition and the government to discuss security failings and other problems.
