Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga now says he will take oath as people’s president “very early in the New Year”.

If it came to it, Mr Odinga said, the National Super Alliance (Nasa) will call for self-determination— in what might mean an escalation of the secession talks— in a further escalation with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.
