STORYLINE
Thousands of Kenyans lined up at dawn on Monday to vote in a referendum on a draft constitution that spells out how East Africa's largest economy will be run and its resources should be shared.
Voting began later than the scheduled 0700 local time (0400 GMT) at some polling stations because election material arrived late.
People living in the sprawling shantytown of Kibera on the outskirts of Nairobi queued to cast their vote in Kenya's first ever referendum since its 1963 independence from Britain.
Raila Odinga, the Minister of Public Works who opposes the new constitution, was also casting his ballot in Kibera and said he was very happy with the turn-out so far, and with the way the referendum was going.
Kibera is a teeming settlement of some 1 million people thought by many to be the biggest slum in East Africa.
The draft charter has divided the government and its people, spawning bitter debate and violent campaigning that killed at least seven people.
Both supporters and opponents of the proposed constitution agree that Kenya needs a new charter to curb decades of abuse of power by its leaders.
But they disagree on contents of the new law.
