[ added]: In the end, Kibaki said that he was open to changing cabinet positions if this was decided during talks with ODM, along with having the talks deal with a broader range of issues such as electoral and institutional reform,

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[-said]: While Kibaki repeatedly said in both meetings he was open to political dialogue, his position was quite clear: he won the election fairly; if ODM has concerns about the outcome they should take their complaints to court because once the Electoral Commission of Kenya makes a call on elections the courts are the sole constitutional remedy (and his government would obey their ruling, Kibaki said),

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[-said]: Frazer met with him (Kibaki) that evening to express great disappointment and surprise at such action, particularly on the day before expected talks between ODM and PNU,

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[ wrote]: Kibaki seemed reasonable and could be influenced with a well-argued point; members of his team, like Martha Karua, were clearly more hardline in their positions and do not seem truly interested in dialogue with ODM,

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[-added]: Kibaki echoed this point arguing that the youth are being paid to commit such acts. Tuju, a Luo, contended that ODM supporters were specifically targeting the Kikuyu, whom he said have exercised a lot of restraint up to now, suggesting that they could retaliate especially in areas like Nairobi where they are a majority,

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[ added]: She said the cabinet appointments were pre-emptive, that it seemed like Kibaki was taking the issue of cabinet positions off the negotiating table and was prepared to exclude ODM from any kind of coalition government,

[ said]: They seem almost oblivious to the vote tallying problems, treating it as a minor detail that can be brushed aside and dealt with through legal means,

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[-said]: Kibaki emphasized that the real problem at hand from his government's perspective is not the controversial presidential election result, but the violence that has ensued, and he said ending it was their primary focus. Kibaki pushed the point that Odinga and other ODM leaders need to come out and call for an end to the violence,

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[ said]: In what was clearly a targeted operation, only 3 laptops containing information related to the National Youth Forum were taken (despite the presence of much expensive equipment and valuables),

allafrica 21-MAR-11

[ said]: Even if the government found the political will to prosecute, the time elapsed since the contracts were signed and the difficulty of obtaining evidence and testimony to prove guilt in court will make it very difficult for KACC and the DPP to obtain and/or sustain any Anglo-Leasing convictions,

allafrica 15-MAR-11

[ said]: They need to know that we see them as having shared responsibility, thus forestalling their attempts to play the blame game while the reform agenda languishes. Implementation will not happen without their decisive leadership. Both men remain very sensitive to US concerns and pressure,

allafrica 15-MAR-11

[-told]: The United States government has no two positions on the deferral issue, we will not abstain, we will veto,

allafrica 15-MAR-11

[ explained]: But it stretches the truth to suggest that support for implementation is solely motivated by these short-term political considerations. Kibaki, in his last term, does not need to worry about future political rivals,

allafrica 07-MAR-11

[-said]: Although the vice president has often been the leader of government business, nothing in the constitution or law states that he must be, and Musyoka was not a party to the national accord which established the coalition. He has played the role of a spoiler, as we have previously reported,
