Kenya opposition calls for sanctions on Kibaki govt

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's opposition called on Friday for other countries to impose sanctions on the government of President Mwai Kibaki, whose disputed re-election triggered riots and tribal clashes killing 500 people.

"Sanctions at this point of time are necessary ... it would be irresponsible to trust this government with a single cent," Anyang' Nyong'o, secretary general of the opposition Orange Democratic Movement, told a news conference.
