Kenya's president includes opposition in the country's new cabinet in the wake of protests
KENYA’S president today incorporated the opposition in his new cabinet, appointing four ministers from the main opposition party.
The formation of the broad-based government by President William Ruto is a bid to address governance issues raised in deadly protests.
Mr Ruto appointed the minority leader in parliament and opposition leader Raila Odinga’s party chairman in his new cabinet despite a split in the opposition coalition that saw other parties distance themselves from government talks.
