Several shacks were set also ablaze in the sprawling Mathare slum, where residents battled with machetes in clashes which left at least one dead and several wounded. According to a local resident, supporters of opposition politician Raila Odinga's Luo tribe were fighting a gang from Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe, when police opened fire on them. One man was shot in the head and killed, according to an Associated Press Television News cameraman. AP Television pictures also showed one injured man who claimed he had been shot in the leg. The police quickly were surrounded by an angry crowd and had to flee along with three wounded people, including a man who had reportedly had his leg severed in the earlier fighting. Deadly riots broke out in Kenya after December 27 elections, which international observers say had a deeply flawed vote count. Some 300 people have been killed and 100,000 made homeless in violent protests and clashes since the vote. The turbulence has taken an ugly ethnic twist, with other tribes pitted against each other, and brought chaos to a country once considered an island of stability in violence-plagued East Africa. Kenya's president meanwhile is ready to form "a government of national unity" to help resolve disputed elections that caused deadly riots, a government statement said on Saturday without explaining what such a power-sharing arrangement might involve. President Mwai Kibaki made the statement to Jendayi Frazer, the leading U.S. diplomatic for Africa, according to the director of the presidential news service, Isaiya Kabira. Kabira said he could not say whether that was a formal offer to opposition leader Odinga, who accuses Kibaki of stealing the December 27 elections.
