Kenya: EU parliament endorses aid freeze

The European Union (EU) parliament has recommended an immediate aid freeze on Kenya to push President Mwai Kibaki to urgently kick-start efforts to end the East African country's post-election political stand-off. EU parliamentarians, meeting almost 20-days into the country's post-election political crisis, also recommended an urgent re-run of the presidential elections if a recount of the disputed presidential votes was not possible to determine the winner.
