The prolonged election standoff in Kenya is undermining its reputation as one of Africa’s top investment destinations and a regional hub for companies including Google Inc. and Coca-Cola Co.
Meanwhile, human rights groups say as many as 80 people have died in election-related violence since the August vote. Kenya's government is trying to intimidate democracy and human rights groups that could file a legal challenge against an Oct. 26 election won by President Uhuru Kenyatta, the groups said on Monday.
