A mall is set to re-open in Kenya's capital Nairobi on Saturday, nearly two years after an attack there by al-Shabab extremists left at least 67 people dead.

Nairobi governor Evans Kidero toured the Westgate Mall, which has been largely refurbished since the devastating attack that led to a four-day siege by security forces.
