Cambridge Analytica, the firm involved in a row over its use of Facebook data, has suspended its boss Alexander Nix.
In a statement it said Nix's comments, secretly recorded by Channel 4 News, "do not represent the values or operations of the firm".
In news reports shown on Monday, Nix suggested tactics his company could use to discredit politicians online.
However, Cambridge Analytica said the report had "grossly misrepresented" the conversations caught on camera.
In Kenya, the Opposition's Nasa coalition has demanded a thorough investigation

The company denies any wrongdoing.
