The U.S. and U.K. embassies in Kenya offered to help investigate the murder of a key electoral official a week before the East African nation holds presidential elections.
The body of Chris Msando, a systems development manager at the Independent Electoral & Boundaries Commission who went missing on the night of July 28, was found on Monday at a mortuary in the capital, Nairobi. Msando had been scheduled to lead a test of an electronic election-results transmission system on Monday, according to the main opposition National Super Alliance.
