vice president of kenya william ruto has said there's no room for gays in kenya.um, says we consider gay people enemies of the natural family. about 36 of 53 commonwealth countries of whom many of them are african criminalise homosexuality. how confident are you that we will see a changing view in kenya about lg bt rights? we're already seeing a changing view. there is currently a case in court that is challenging the penal code against homosexuality, so we are seeing changes and we know that we have, regardless of whether or not we want to acknowledge it, there are members of the lgbt immunity who live within the continent, who live in kenya, who live in uganda, who live in tanzania. you cannot — laws will not change the nature of a person. so, do you think kenya could deliver an upset and become the second country after south africa on the continent to legalise gay rights? i think that the fight currently is, yes, is to say that people should not be discriminated because of their sexual orientation and the right to privacy is theirs and theirs alone, and the gov

to look at the advantages that kenya has to offer.of course has an edge given our historical relationship in the past. britain has an advantage of leveraging both her knowledge of kenya and africa, her understanding, the historical and cultural ties that exist. but, also, leveraging on the commonwealth of which kenya is a member. to improve trade in and amongst member countries. so i think... so that is your message? the message we have is that all we are interested in are win—win proposals that enable all of us to take advantage of the opportunities that exist to create mutually beneficial prosperity. one issue i wish to raise is that it is the 20th anniversary of the august 7th bomb blast on the american embassies in tanzania and kenya. more than 220 people died, most of them kenyans, 5000 people were injured but this is what evanson gitu, from the bomb blast victims association of kenya has appealed to the us government to pay restitution to the victims. he says, "the lives of the kenyan victims have been shattered due to a lack of
