Section 162 of Kenya’s Penal Code is titled ‘Unnatural offences’. It penalises sodomy, bestiality and buggery, with up to 14 years prison, and aggravated sodomy with up to 21 years. The Penal Code also penalises attempted sodomy with up to seven years imprisonment, and gross indecency between males with up to five years. These offences are rather similar to Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act.
