NAIROBI, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Protests erupted in Kenya's western opposition stronghold of Kisumu and slums in the capital Nairobi after President Mwai Kibaki announced part of his new cabinet on Tuesday.

Witnesses said one man was shot dead during riots in Kisumu, while residents of Nairobi's Mathare and Kibera slums said hundreds of opposition supporters had taken to the streets, some brandishing machetes, to denounce Kibaki's move.
