Kibaki named a cabinet yesterday

First, it's illegal, since Parliament has not yet been convened and MPs have not been sworn in.

Second, it's illegal, because Kibaki is illegal. He is not the legal or legitimate President of Kenya, and has no authority to name a cabinet.

Third, it makes a mockery of the mediation talks between Kibaki's PNU and the opposition ODM party, that John Kufuor, President of Ghana and the African Union, is in Nairobi to facilitate. Kufuor landed just minutes before Kibaki announced the names.
