TalkAfrique’s mission is to predominantly cover great stories that you never hear about the African continent and people. We will try as much as possible to let the good stories dominate our posts. It will be difficult and irresponsible, however, to keep quiet over certain developments.
I read today that Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga has ordered a nationwide crackdown on homosexuals in Kenya.
Mr. Odinga ordered the police to arrest anyone found engaging in such behaviors and take appropriate legal action against them. The Prime Minister cited the recent population census results which put the ratio of men to women equal and wondered why people should engage in homosexuality.
I will not use this blog to defend or attack any lifestyle at home or abroad. My thought about this is a matter between myself and my pastors.
I rather find it uncanny and irresponsible that a prime minister of a country in a public meeting will call upon the police funded by tax payers to arm themselves to crackdown on a group of people.
Surprising, Mr. Odinga describes himself as a ‘Progressive’ politician, whatever that means. What a farce.
There are many deep issues in Kenya that need to be addressed. Poverty and diseases afflict infants and mothers. Rather than use the pulpit that is graciously offered him to motivate and encourage his countrymen and women to move the nation forward, Odinga rather decided to use the opportunity to promote hatred and violence.
If the Kenyan police have any unexploited logistics, perhaps they could employ them to arrest drag traffickers, corrupt politician and land grabbers who are terrorizing peaceful men and women in Kenya

say it again Gladee….is so unnecessary…….HIV and hunger is deteriorating africa sooooo……..and he thinks gays and lesbians need to be chased and jailed……unbelievable!!!!!
While malaria and Hiv kills millions, the idiots just want to incite voilence. Shameful, I agree. I’m not a gay supporter, but I think calling for police arrest and execution are just inhuman. BTW, do we know how many politicians in african are gay themselves?
