Rivals break deadlock

Kenya's rivals said yesterday a coalition government would be formed this weekend with the naming of a power-sharing Cabinet, ending deadlock that has threatened the country's economic recovery.

President Mwai Kibaki and prime minister-designate Raila Odinga announced the agreement after a two-hour meeting over the size and membership of the cabinet, a key part of a power-sharing deal to end Kenya's bloody post-election crisis.
