Kenyan PM calls for Annan intervention

Kenya’s prime minister said that he wants former UN chief Kofi Annan to intervene in a dispute with the president that is threatening a power-sharing agreement that helped end post-election bloodshed two years ago.

The public spat between the two leaders has deepened fractures in the coalition government. Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Sunday suspended two Cabinet members over corruption scandals only to see President Mwai Kibaki overrule the suspensions hours later.
