Kenya condemns 'sabotage' plan

Nairobi: The Kenyan government on Monday condemned as "illegal sabotage" a planned opposition boycott of companies associated to allies of President Mwai Kibaki.

"Sabotage of companies [is] illegal and an insult to Kenyans," the government said in a statement.

"Politicians are warned that they will be held personally responsible and accountable for any destruction of property emanating from their incitement."

Opposition leader Raila Odinga's party promised to maintain street meetings from Thursday and demand economic objections.

The opposition group hopes that increased pressure on the president will undermine his hold on power after a vote that most foreign and local observers agree was flawed.

Post-election violence in Kenya has killed at least 650 people and has damaged its economy and tourism.
