Opposition leader named Kenyan prime minister
BY TOM MALITI ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAIROBI, Kenya — President Mwi Kibaki named opposition leader Raila Odinga as prime minister Sunday, implementing a long-awaited power-sharing deal aimed at resolving a political crisis that left more than 1,000 people dead.
But the focus will be on Kibaki's and Odinga's working relationship. Either side can end the new partnership at any time.
The deal — signed more than a month ago — marks the first time Kenya will have both a president and prime minister. But the working relationship between Kibaki
and Odinga, which has been frosty in the past, will determine how long the coalition lasts.
On Sunday, Kibaki announced the new Cabinet with the 40 ministries split equally between his Party of National Unity and its allied parties and Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement. Kibaki made the announcement a day after holding closed-door talks with Odinga.
The two men agreed in February to share power after a dispute over who won Kenya's December presidential election triggered weeks of unrest that killed more than 1,000 people and uprooted 300,000 from their homes.
When Kibaki was hurriedly sworn in as president after the disputed December election, Odinga accused him of stealing the vote. Until they signed the peace deal in February, the opposition leader refused to recognize Kibaki as president.
But negotiations over the Cabinet dragged on, and the public grew impatient. Scuffles broke out for three days last week in Kenya's largest slum, Kibera, between police
and residents protesting the delay.
Legally, the coalition will last until either the current parliament's term ends in 2012 or a new constitution — to be negotiated in the next 12 months — is enacted.
Kibaki, for his part, declined early in negotiations to share any power with Odinga.

CORRECTIONS
Friday's story "Self to stay" incorrectly stated that Kansas coach Bill Self was sitting between Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Athletics Director Lew Perkins at a Thursday press conference. Self was sitting at one end of the table, not in the middle.
Friday's baseball Game Day section identified the player pictured in the center of the page as senior catcher/outfielder Ryne Price. The player was sophomore infielder Robby Price.
