NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki's government accused the opposition on Saturday of causing a delay in the naming of a power-sharing cabinet, and called opposition leader Raila Odinga to a meeting to end the latest impasse.

The president is yet to receive the list," government spokesman Alfred Mutua said in a statement. He said Kibaki had called Odinga to a meeting on Sunday "to finalize consultations."
