One of the times President Uhuru Kenyatta has gotten the approbation of Kenyans is on the issue of gay rights.
Asked, by former US President Barack Obama, to comment on alleged infringement on fundamental rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and queers (LGBTQ), Kenyatta responded with Solomonic wisdom. Declaring the topic a non-issue in Kenya, he forestalled a difficult conversation that would have led to curtailment of much-needed foreign aid tied to LGBTQ rights.
