* The US Government is asking citizens residing in or travelling to Kenya to be alert to the security situation around general elections in August and the campaign period this month. Kenya has a history of electoral violence. Fighting that followed the 2007 flawed presidential election killed more than 1 000 people. The State Department warned citizens to avoid gatherings, protests and demonstrations. It said the advisory will expire on 31 August.
