"Your neighbour will still be your neighbour, regardless of what has happened. My primary message today to every single Kenyan is peace. Let us be people of peace."

But in fury language, he told his supporters at a rally in Nairobi that the judges were crooks, warning the panel president, Chief Justice Maraga, that he was still president.
"Do you understand me? Maraga should know that he is now dealing with the serving president," Mr Kenyatta, 55, said.
"We are keeping a close eye on them. But let us deal with the election first. We are not afraid."
