Gay rights is "a non-issue” and Kenya is not keen on embracing homosexuality, President Kenyatta has told US President Barack Obama and the United States.
Mr Kenyatta on Friday urged the US to respect the will of the Kenyan society, which he said had rejected same-sex marriages.
“We share a lot of things but gay issues are not among them… We cannot impose on people what they don't accept,” Mr Kenyatta said during a joint press conference at State House, Nairobi.
“The health issues we have discussed are critical. Once we are done with that, we can then focus on those other issues,” he said.
Earlier, President Obama had emphasized the need for Kenya to stop discriminating against gays and lesbians, saying all people, including homosexuals, should be treated equally under the law.

Respect going out to Mr Kenyatta, who did not allow himself to be pushed around by a foreign leader but instead stood up for the sovereignty of his nation and the right of the Kenyan people to run their own country in their own way.
Down with the neocolonialists' imposition of their values onto other people, hooray for global diversity and mutual respect for sovereignty!
