“We will welcome the visitors in Nairobi. We will be there and we will listen. But will be firm in rejecting what we do not agree with,” he said
Kenya will host the population conference “but will not accept practices that are at conflict with our cultures,” President Uhuru Kenyatta has said.
Kenyatta reiterated Kenya’s stand to protect cultural norms by not allowing any practices that will be seen devaluing traditions of various local communities.
It is understood that the President was referring to the push by reproductive health activists for legal abortion and homosexual rights during the conference.
“We will welcome the visitors Nairobi. We will be there and we will listen. But will be firm in rejecting what we do not agree with,” he said.
“We have a stand,” he said, adding that “But on things that do not conform with our cultures and religion, we will firmly reject,” he told the gathering attended by UNFPA country director Ademola Olajide and western diplomats.
