Kenya's new power-sharing cabinet, part of a deal to end its bloody post-election crisis, will be named this weekend, prime minister-designate Raila Odinga said on Thursday.

"We've agreed to announce the cabinet on Sunday and that the cabinet will be sworn in Saturday week (April 12)," Odinga told reporters after meeting with President Mwai Kibaki.

The cabinet issue, in which Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is supposed to get roughly half the seats, has been stuck in deadlock for a month and many Kenyans have raised fears the logjam could undo the country's relative peace.

The disagreements have been over the size of the cabinet, who gets what ministry and Kibaki's rejection of certain ODM politicians his backers blame for violent street protests and killings of people from his Kikuyu tribe in the Rift Valley.

On Wednesday, former U.N. chief Kofi Annan chided both men for the delay in implementing the agreement, which he brokered last month in hope of ending a political crisis that harmed one of Africa's brightest economies and beacons of stability.
