The Kenyan committee that is supposed to ensure a smooth transition from one president to another has held its first meeting.

Its members are getting ready for the electoral commission to announce the result from Tuesday's presidential election.

Chairperson Joseph Kinyua says the committee will take care of the handing-over process from the outgoing to the new president, organise security, facilities and personnel.

It will also co-ordinate the briefing of the president-elect, and prepare the programme and swearing in.
