EU Parliament to discuss Kenya's election during Tuesday debate

The European parliament is expected to debate Kenya post-election situation on Tuesday afternoon.

"The European parliament will debate the situation in Kenya. I will tweet the time details when they are known," Marietje Schaake, head of the EU Observer Mission, said.

The debate follows last week's release of an election report which the government protested saying it had no input in it.

The government termed the election report unprocedural, condescending, and disdainful.
