Young girls dating older men is a norm, not a fad

In his speech on World Aids Day, President Uhuru Kenyatta lamented the cross-generational relationships involving elderly men and young girls, often underage. He opined that most STDs, including HIV, contracted by the young girls are, in most cases, passed on by the “sugar daddies”.

Uhuru castigated married or unmarried elderly men, saying they should be ashamed of themselves for luring young girls into intimate relationships. He termed such affairs as manipulative and undignified and urged men to date women of their age.
