Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni -- who was one of the first heads of state to congratulate Kibaki on his re-election -- was also expected in Nairobi yesterday to support dialogue and discuss regional stability.
The government has rejected the term "mediation," insisting there is no crisis in the country, but has welcomed African leaders to facilitate dialogue to end the political stand-off.
The ODM announced last week it would change tactics and launch a boycott of companies owned by Kibaki's allies.
But the government, in a statement published on Monday, said the move was meant "to create poverty and destroy the livelihood of the very poor" and accused the opposition of incitement.
