US questions Kenya poll 'anomalies'

The US voiced concern today about 'anomalies' in Kenya's disputed presidential election, noting that some constituencies had declared bizarrely high turnout figures.

'The United States is however concerned by serious problems experienced during the vote-counting process,' said a US government statement released by its embassy in Nairobi.

'These included various anomalies with respect to unrealistically high voter turnout rates, close to 100 percent in some constituencies, discrepancies in the number of votes reported for the respective candidates, apparent manipulation of some election reporting documents, and long delays in reporting results.'

Oh, the irony of this is just too rich...
