President Uhuru Kenyatta says that homosexuality is not an issue of any importance to the people of the republic of Kenya.
Speaking during an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, President Uhuru was asked whether he was keen to decriminalize homosexuality in Kenya. In response, President said he was not ready to engage in a matter that is of no importance to Kenya.
“I want to be very clear…. I won’t engage in a subject that is of no any main importance to the people of the republic of Kenya.This is not an issue as you would want to put it, of human rights, this is an issue of society of our own base as a culture, as a people regardless of which community you come from,” President Uhuru said.
“This is not acceptable, this is not agreeable.. this is not about Uhuru Kenyatta saying yes or no, this is an issue of the people of Kenya themselves who have bestowed upon themselves a Constitution after several years of cleary stating that this is not acceptable and is not a subject they are willing to engage in at this time and moment.”
“In years to come, possibly after I am President, maybe our society would have reached a state where that those are issues that people are willing to discuss.Those are the laws that we have and that are supported by 99% of people regardless of where they come from.”
Bravo bravo my president…
Bravo bravo my president.Ushoga ushetani stinking behaviour is no human rights.Kenyans agreed 100% is non issue.Instead of jailing them 5 yrs as our constitution says it needs to b changed to hang immediately ur caught!!Hii tabia yawazungu ipelekwe the WEST where u have rights to b anything n anybody.Shidwe mapepo mbaya!Uhuru we love you big
It would have made more…
It would have made more sense to ask Uhuru when Kenya is planning to land a man on Mars. Bravo Mr.President for a good answer. Why is the west so fixated on the unnatural sexual matters???
@one day at atyme, Im my…
@one day at atyme, Im my view, the question is not so much about sexual matters as for human rights.Do you think gays should be killed or jailed for just being that-gay?
I dont know if you read Kenyan dailies. Last week one had a story on how rampant homosexuality is in Kisumu. Did you read that? Please dont tell me that all these Kenyan homosexuals got the ” idea” from wazungu.Studies tell us that there exists about 10% of homosexuals in every human society.What should we do with those in our Kenyan society?Kill them?
Tell me this, how does your neighbors sexual behavior affect yours?Especially if done in the privacy of their home.In other words tell me how homosexuality affect heterosexuals negatively?
It is a human right issue.Why should people want to beat,shame,and ostracize a productive member of asociety simply because he prefers same sex relationships.This person could be a law abiding, kind, philantropist,scientist,and owns acompany tha employs 100 heterosexuals. Now let me why society should have an issue with that kind of citizen? To me all this fear of homosexuals is unfounded.
Again I ask, why would any one chose to be gay given the hostile response Kenyan society has on this issue.? Yes its ahuman right concern.Sex is private and it belongs in the bedroom where nobody without a permit should enter…
As I have said before, my approach on such matters is”scientific”.I ask why does homosexuality exist?How about people who have both male and female sex organs, should we decide for them and yank one of the organs…
Substance abuse,…
Substance abuse, prostitution, heterosexuals, murderers, gangsterism, thieve(ry), homosexuals, are a societal matters of choice. So whatever one decide to do against the will of the majority, kaa huko, kaa nayo, oza nayo,…its your own shauri. Do not involve others in discussing the path(choice) that you have decided to take. Use to work with at least two gays gay, but I can tell you even the Americans used to avoid them and stay away from them…talking in whispers in fear of being sued or fired for infringing on their so called “rights?”. Decipher that on your own. In Kenya, they are trying to permeate into our society and confusing our youth, who are now putting studs on their ears and wearing tight pants.
The one who have both organs…
The one who have both organs,one is found to work perfectly so u can easily become the one which ones n get rid of the one doesn’t work!!.ushoga ushetani stinking behaviour belong to hell.In Kenya we don’t tolerate such behaviour while in USA uk France Australia its worshipped uplifted n grolified!Yes Nobody care what goes on in yr private room or hse but if u bring it out in the public eye or in communities like kenya or Uganda sorry to say u will b roasted coz our societies will never worship such a stinking devolish behaviour.Even animals knows better,u won’t find a male climbing male or vicevasa!
Next thing you will tell us…
Next thing you will tell us Maxiley is that having sex with underage kids, a dog or a goat does not affect your neighbours heterosexuallity . There are consequences for all this even if it is consentual with a kid. Same thing there shoul be consequences for Ushoga
@ Wakenya.Iam glad you bring…
@ Wakenya.Iam glad you bring in under age. Do you know that many tribes still marry off young under age girls to men old enough to be their grand fathers? My religion SCIENCE has made many africans aware of this abuse.It went on for along time remember.Certainly hard to imagine a child consented to marrying grand pa.
And no I wont tell you that it is ok to have sex with animals.Remember, the main purpose of sex is for procreation,even though most of it is used for please,especially for men(prostitution).No procreation value there.
Some of these so called social deviants are perpetrated by people with mental issues.But lets stick to the main issue here,and also assume that these are normal people.Two consenting homosexuals in their privacy.How does that concern you in anyway,just as much as it should not concern any heterosexual person.Its private.
I agree with Mkenya Halisi that it would be wrong if they displayed their acts in public,just as it would be wrong for heterosexuals to do so.
Finally,just like we have experts and researchers in various disciplines,medicine, maths,physics…etc. We have experts and researchers in human sexual behavior.These studies are intended to help us understand our humanity,and why we act the way we do.And if changes could be made to help mankind live better.Therefore instead of discounting what SCIENCE says on matters sexual,we should try to understand it in a scientific context first,then legal.Mind you these studies apply to human beings,not only wazungu.
Now human sexuality experts are saying that Human sexual behavior is on a continuum.We have extremes on both sides,and most of us are in between.And of course their is no meter to measure where one lies.Just because one mounts a woman is not the best measure of heterosexuality.Let’s be open minded.Iwould take a chance.and follow what SCIENCE says than what man made traditions say.Iwould hope that they align with tradition…And yes Iam aware that the interplay of nature and and nurture is what shapes our behaviors,and that’s what SCIENCE tries to put in perpective-cut and disect and let us make our minds based of evidence garnered.By the way are we Kenyans making too much of an issue out of this homosexual thing?
But Maxiley, if sex was for…
But Maxiley, if sex was for procreation or pleasure, and gays do it in their privacy, does that mean its okay to sleep with an animal in privacy?? als long as its not in Public? Explain to me why gays can do it in privacy n chicken lovers cannot. Remember gays are not procreating, same with animal love…..with all due respect i do not have hate for lesbians in fact I have enough friends
@wakenya.Doing it in privacy…
@wakenya.Doing it in privacy still needs consent.How would you prove to the courts that the animal consented ?.Ialso said that their is no scientific value for man to have sex with an animal.
