Kenyan mourners gather to pay their respects to ex-president Kibaki.

Mourners have gathered at Kenya's parliament to pay their respects to Mwai Kibaki, the country's third president after independence, who died last week at the age of 90.

Mr. Kibaki's casket, covered in the national flag, was led by a military procession to parliament early this morning, where it will lie in state from Monday through Wednesday.

The public showing at parliament will be presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Kenya's parliament, which is presently on break, will meet on Wednesday for a special session to pay respect to Mr. Kibaki.

President Kenyatta ordered a period of mourning, with flags flying at half-mast, until Mr. Kibaki's funeral.

The late president will be given full military honors at a state funeral.
