Kenyan prime minister hospitalized for fatigue

NAIROBI, Kenya — A spokesman says Kenya’s prime minister has been hospitalized for fatigue and will remain in the hospital for a few days.

Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga went for a checkup late Monday because he felt exhausted and doctors treated him for fatigue.

Odinga’s spokesman, Dennis Onyango, said Tuesday that the prime minister is in stable condition.

Odinga became prime minister when he signed a power-sharing deal with President Mwai Kibaki to end violence following the disputed December 2007 presidential election.

The last time Odinga was hospitalized was in 2008 when he underwent an eye operation in Germany.
