Kenya's Kibaki agreed to Form National Govt MIL/Agencies/AP, Jan 5, 2008. Nairobi, Kenya: January 5, 2008 - Kenya’s president Mwai Kibaki has shown his readiness to form a national government to help resolve disputed elections that caused bloody riots, and let down the name of the country down all over the world. The President has agreed to the power sharing with the opposition party. President Kibaki made this statement to Jendayi Frazer, the leading U.S. diplomatic for Africa, as per Isaiya Kabira. Kabira said he could not say whether that was a formal offer to opposition leader Raila Odinga, who accuses Kibaki of stealing the Dec. 27 elections that international observers say had a deeply flawed vote count. Frazer, who met with Odinga today, shall meet the opposition leader, Kabira said, implying she might be carrying a message from Kibaki, as per AP. On Friday, Odinga called for a transitional government to organize a new election, but Kibaki said a rerun could be ordered only by the High Court. There was no immediate statement from Frazer on her 90-minute meeting with Kibaki or her talks with Odinga. Kabira read a government statement that quoted Frazer as saying that "by extending an olive branch to the opposition, President Kibaki had shown his commitment to ending the political impasse.'' "She expressed optimism that all concerned parties will work together toward restoring normalcy in Kenya.'' The statement said Kibaki reiterated his readiness to work with all involved parties. ``The President said he was ready to form a Government of National Unity that would not only unite Kenyans but would also help in the healing and reconciliation process,'' the statement said.
