Kenya’s top national security team says the country is safe and secure, even as top candidate Raila Odinga on Tuesday rejected results of a contest to replace President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The National Security and Advisory Committee (NSAC) said further “constitutional” procedures will follow after Deputy President William Ruto was declared President-elect on Monday.
