If there is an item Kenyans love to condemn, it is the innocuous latex sheath made popular by the French company, Durex. The ever faithful, and extremely safe — of course when used properly, and risky only when swallowed — condom is an item which many Kenyans would not protest even if it were banned.
Ideally, the condom should be in the list of Kenyans’ basic necessities, but Kenyans never consider it as such, so much so that even when its price is increased — like it happened some months back — human rights crusaders did not raise a placard, a finger or even a voice lest they be declared immoral and threatened with a ban.
