Kenyan prime minister denounces plot to rig presidential vote


NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Thursday accused the head of the civil service of recruiting officials to back his main rival's presidential campaign as part of a wider plan to rig the election next month.

Analysts warned the infighting in top government ranks may raise tensions ahead of the closely-watched March 4 vote, the first since a disputed presidential contest unleashed violence that took the country to the brink of civil war five years ago.
