A United Nations-backed international conference slated to take place in Nairobi next week has attracted uproar among sections of Kenyans who have protested that the meeting will drum up support for homosexuality.

Religious leaders have joined parliamentarians in opposing the country’s hosting of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD25), claiming it was tailored to introduce ideologies and practices that are against the African culture and the religious heritage.
