 Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has appointed Uhuru Kenyatta finance minister after Amos Kimunya was forced to resign the post over a financial scandal, the President Press Service reports Friday.
Kenyatta will remain deputy prime minister, Kibaki said in a statement. Kimunya becomes trade minister.
Kimunya was forced to resign after he was implicated in the irregular sale of a hotel in Nairobi to the government of Libya. A commission to investigate Kimunya cleared him of any wrongdoing in the sale late last year. |

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German teen-ager caught shoplifting tried to dupe police by lying about where he lived -- but ended up in even more trouble when the address he gave turned out to be the home of an investigating officer. The 18-year-old from Achim, a town of 30,000 in northern Germany, admitted he had lied when the officer explained that the address belonged to him, said police in nearby Verden. "It was complete coincidence," said a police spokesman. "The thief gave that address because he'd once lived in the house. The policeman was the guy who moved in afterwards." |

A new chapter INAUGURATION: Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States, as the world and a boisterous mass of people looked on. 
Associated Press/Photo by Jae C. Hong WASHINGTON— The swell of 2 million voices generated an overpowering sound to the human ear as Barack Obama took the oath of office to become the next president of the United States. The ceremony on the Capitol steps began a new chapter in the story of a man with a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya, who Tuesday became the most powerful person on earth. The mass of spectators, which spread a mile from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol, waved American flags and embraced each other in excitement—and to keep warm. MORE>>> |

LAGOS (Reuters) - Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery. Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323. "The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat," Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters by telephone. "We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat," he said. Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw. |

Kaka rejects Manchester City move  Kaka joined AC Milan from Brazilian side Sao Paulo in 2003
AC Milan playmaker Kaka has turned down a lucrative move to Manchester City. "Kaka is staying at Milan," said a club spokesman, after team owner Silvio Berlusconi told Italian television the 26-year-old had opted not to leave. City issued a statement saying they had ended talks, believing it was unlikely a deal could be struck with Milan. "A transfer must work commercially, financially, results on the field and within City's broader community," said executive chairman Garry Cook.MORE>>> |
