a newspaper article on saturday got me thinking;it also made tempers flare.a good ingredient for a really boring weekend for me.

a kenyan minister came out openly to support gays and lesbians.the backlash was immediate;preachers and muslim imams came out to fiercely criticise her.they also called on the president to sack her.never mind that those same preachers and imams were not seeing eye during the referendum campaigns(something about whether kadhi's courts were to be included in the new constitution).the issue of gayism was also a hot topic during that referendum.something about vested interests?

that esther murugi i.e the minister understands gay people shouldn't be a surprise.she is  one down to earth lady.so much that even as a minister,she still finds time to walk the streets and mingle with her constituents;unlike those 'mheshimiwas' or 'honourables' who move around in posh cars surrounded by  beefy security guards.
anyway,it remains to be seen whether our laid back president will lift a finger against the minister or will remain his usual quiet self and let the storm blow itself over.
