What a Day for Democracy in Kenya




Kenya's new government and opposition have clashed in the African country's first parliamentary session in a row over the election of the assembly's speaker.









Opposition and government legislators argued for an hour before eventually deciding the poll for a new speaker should be secret.








Government legislators called for calm, saying rowdy behaviour dishonoured those who were killed in December's violence.
It was the first time they had been in the same room since the election.

In the 222-seat parliament, ODM holds 99 seats - the highest number after many of Kibaki's former ministers and supporters were removed from power in the election.
