Does UHURU support gays and lesbians? What he told Obama to do has left RUTO in ‘tears’

President Uhuru Kenyatta has moved to calm the prevalent debate over homosexuality ahead of an anticipated visit by US President, Barrack Obama, who is a gay and lesbian advocate.

Through State House Spokesman, Manoah Esipisu, Uhuru said Kenya is a country governed by the Constitution and that President Obama is free to speak about homosexuality while in Kenya.

Uhuru highlighted the importance of freedom of speech saying he cannot dictate what President Obama can or cannot say during his visit to Kenya.

“As Kenyans, we believe in freedom of speech. We cannot tell Obama what he can or cannot say during his visit to Kenya,” Esipisu said on behalf of Uhuru.

This comes barely a day after Deputy President William Ruto warned Obama to steer clear of the gay and lesbian debate while in Kenya saying Kenya is a God-fearing nation and will not allow the US President to bring his homosexuality agenda to the country.

Kenyans, among them Deputy President William Ruto, are worried that Obama may use his presence in the country later this month to advocate for same sex marriages, something they vowed never to let happen.

However, as it appears, Obama has the backing of Uhuru and may go ahead to tell Kenyans to embrace same sex marriages in Kenya.
