I love Kenya. That is my story and my song. In fact l love my country so much that l have sacrificed two days of sleep figuring out how to write this piece and yet I have no option but to love Kenya.

Do you know that Kenya now bears the dubious distinction of being the first country in the world to place adverts in its vibrant press announcing an intended census of criminals? Yeah, I know you don’t read the fine print especially when couched in donor language, little wonder you only realise most harm after the damage has already been done.

According to the agency which placed the advert, the number of MSM (Men Shagging Men) has greatly increased in the country and is contributing to the rapid spread of HIV/Aids. What the advert does not place is a caveat warning those giving the self-incriminating evidence that homosexuality is an offence under our Penal Code punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment. I have stated here before that very few chaps ever accept that they are gay even if caught red handed.

Having stayed with the chaps for a long period, l can rightly claim to be an authority on their behavioural patterns and just like l stated after a certain NGO purported to have made a survey of gays in netis countrywide, even the envisioned one will bring out nothing but bloated figures tailored to lend credence to the presumptions of its sponsors.

Everyday fare

One of the books, which have left a lasting impression on my mind, is Gary Kah’s Enroute to Global Occupation.

Even though it looked apocalyptic when l first read it behind bars eight years ago, l have to confess that it was well researched and whatever it predicted is unravelling now.

In it, he stated how the Illuminati and major foundations in the West had supposedly conspired to make free sex and homosexuality an everyday fare that blokes would take as kawaida.

He stated that the medium through which that would be achieved would be through the media, educational content and the Internet.

Clever scheme

That they had plotted on how to indoctrinate our children while at the same time infiltrating religious institutions. They would also fund opinion polls and surveys whose slanted results would be used to drive their agenda.

This three pronged attack on institutions that have been identified as having the biggest stake in role modelling and moulding of society was to target Africa and then the Arab world which still remain conservative.

Reports that a team of British MPs recently attempted to persuade the CoE to include gay rights in the harmonised draft constitution and the plea by US Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson to the Ugandan parliament to go slow on its new anti-gay laws which makes homosexuality a Capital offence punishable by death falls into this scheme of things.

Counting gays

It is now patently clear that the prime raÌson d’etre of all these hankering, surveys and lobbying is purely meant to give homosexuality an acceptable face in the country. But have the planners contemplated the backlash that would follow in the residential estates as homophobia takes root?

Have they taken into account what is happening to lesbians in South Africa despite its liberal laws, which allow homosexuality?

Have they considered what Gichia’s innocent family are going through after pictures of their son marrying Ngengi in London appeared in the press recently?

And finally, what do they have for cops who will move to arrest or extort money from self-confessed criminals? Until and unless the law is changed, and that’s a long shot, homosexuality remains a crime in Kenya.

So after counting gays, are burglars and pinjes (pick-pockets) next in line? C’mon, give me a break! I love Kenya.
