Move over Nigerian Lawmakers!What you can do the Kenyans can do better.And this was signified during Thursday's vote, as lawmakers in Kenya punched one another and dumped water on each other, the Christian Science Monitor reported.
The chaos erupted in the Kenyan parliament as lawmakers approved a new law designed to target terrorists, but that critics say will greatly infringe the civil liberties of Kenyans.
According to Agence France Press, the new law will allow police to hold terror suspects for nearly a year and give them more authority to tap phones. Under the new law, journalists who publish unapproved pictures of terror suspects or "undermine investigations or security operations relating to terrorism," could go to jail for up to three years, AFP reported.
