Prominent lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi took to Twitter on Friday to call out President William Ruto for the lack of representation of LGBTQ individuals in his government.
Abdullahi contrasted Ruto’s absence of LGBTQ members with the inclusion of five LGBTQ individuals in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cabinet and over 12 senior staff in the State House and Office of the President.
“H.E William Ruto must be called out for excluding members of the LBGTQ from his govt. Contrast this with Uhuru’s commendable policy. Uhuru’s cabinet had 5 LBGTQ members & over 12 senior staff in State House/Office of the President. President Ruto has ZER0…YES ZERO!,” Ahmednasir tweeted.
However, the well-known attorney, also known as Grand Mullah, did not name the people, and his comments cannot be verified.
In a previous CNN interview, Ruto stated that he respects everyone and their beliefs, adding that the same should be said for those who hold opposing beliefs.
“We have Kenyan law, we have Kenyan constitution, we have our tradition, customs; we will continue to respect other people’s customs as they respect our customs and traditions,” he said.
“We also have what we believe in and we expect to be respected for that too,” he added
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta stated in an interview with the same international media outlet about Kenya’s stance on homosexuals that he would refrain from speaking on a subject of little significance to Kenyans.
