The Kenyan government is to establish a tribunal to judge senior politicians and businessmen accused of organising bloody ethnic violence after a disputed presidential election in December.
About 1,300 people were killed and another 300,000 driven from their homes. It was Kenya's worst violence since independence.
An official report by judge Philip Waki last month recommended that 10 people face a special Kenyan tribunal or be sent for prosecution by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Analysts see implementation of the Waki report as a key test of whether Kenya can break with its corrupt, ethnic-based politics of the past.
An official statement issued on Thursday said President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga would head a committee "to prepare an implementation work-plan" of the Waki report.
Cabinet agreed on Thursday to implement the report of another commission of inquiry which called for extensive reform of the electoral system to avoid a repeat of the chaos.
The violence was rooted in long-standing ethnic and land issues and a huge gulf between rich and poor.
