Kenyan opposition leader asks supporters not to work Monday

NAIROBI, Kenya �� Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga told his supporters not to report for work Monday to protest the disputed election won by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"Tomorrow, there's no going to work," said Odinga, the presidential candidate for the opposition coalition known as National Super Alliance. He addressed supporters Sunday in Kibera, a poor neighborhood in the capital, Nairobi.

Kenyatta was declared the winner late Friday of the Aug. 8 election that the national electoral commission said was free and fair. Nasa, as the party is known, said the commission's computer system was hacked to rig the results and warned that its supporters would rise up in response. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights put the death toll from post-election violence at 24, while party leaders on Saturday said state security foreces had killed more than 100 people.
