Kenyans voted today in a referendum for a new constitution. Earlier today we linked to websites with live updates of this historic event. Kenyan twitter users have been busy posting tweets related to the referendum using hashtags: #uchaguzi, #kenyadecides, #referendum and #kuweniserious (“be serious” in Swahili).
