Most societies have mores that define them. Many times, these are traits that are specific to them. What is culturally accepted in some places may be at odds with the conventions of others.
For instance, in some communities, breaking wind at the dinner table is deemed an appropriate compliment to one's host. In others, it is considered offensive.
Kenyans have general social norms that are acceptable across the country's ethnic diversity. Citizens are for the most part tolerant of each other's foibles. Whilst public discussions of a prurient nature are usually frowned on, they are not taboo. However, the law does set limits on overly affectionate public displays. It also expressly forbids homosexual relationships, prescribing punishment for the same in the country's penal code.
