Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi Faults President Ruto Over Lack of LGBTQ Representation in His Gov’t
Senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has faulted President Ruto for failing to include members of the LGBTQ community in his government.
Through Twitter on Friday, Abdullahi claimed Ruto’s predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta had five LGBTQ individuals in his cabinet and over 12 senior staff in 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!” he tweeted.
The attorney, who backed President Ruto in the August elections, did not name the people, and his claims cannot be verified.
In an interview with CNN in September, Ruto said he respects everyone and what they believe in, adding that the same should be extended to those of contrary belief.
"We have Kenyan law, Constitution, traditions and our customs. We will continue to respect other people's customs as they respect our customs and our tradition. We also have what we believe in and we expect to be respected for that too,” he said when asked about his stand on homosexuality.
He added: "We do not want to create a mountain out of a molehill. This is not a big issue for the people of Kenya. When it becomes a big issue for the people of Kenya, the people of Kenya will make a choice."
In 2020, former President Uhuru Kenyatta told CNN that homosexuality was not agreeable and that gay rights is not a major issue in Kenya.
"This is an issue of society, of our own base as a culture, as a people, regardless of which community you come from, this is not acceptable, this is not agreeable," Uhuru said.

Of what consequence does it matter to you.What or how MPIGS, cabinet secretaries and other employees on the government payroll choose to do in their homes is their business.What matters to us regular folk is that they do their jobs and not misuse our taxes which they often do.Stop trying to normalize abnormal behavior even animals do not lie with their own kind.This people are not a minority and do not deserve any special kind of recognition.A mpig will steal cheat and even murder whether he is lbgto; non binary or the latest non gender.All BS in my book when this group of people are in desperate need of medical attention see how fast they identify as male or female and their is no mention of their “partner preferences”.
Who were these 5 five gays in the Uhuru cabinet's??.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Could be the Rich he Went with at St.Marys School; Nairobi. I am Serious!😨
Mula has a point, can the religious Ruto claim to be a progressive democrat while oppressing the marginalized?!? Is he a radical Taliban-like evangelical zealot?!?
He's lips definitely look like his been sucking cock night and day.
In a country where many people are struggling to meet basic needs, he's main request is to suck 🍆??
To me That☝️🍆 looks like Hot paper or Red cucumber.🙄
One’s sexual orientation is non of our business. What’s important is whether he’s going to serve the country with honesty and integrity; “ Matako ni yake! Tungoje siku ya kiama “!!
Wow, that is the issue that is so pressing.
Yep! His ass is so Pressed for Sodom😜.
He is being paid by homosexual organizations from Western countries to advance the idea.
Satan working through these kind of evil leaders. Pelekeni ushoga back to the sender, the West.
Closing 2022 by saying that all I see above are a bunch of African homophobic maniacs who highly likely have never facked a hole, any hole!
It’s none of your business about what another person does in his her bedroom with another adults consent!
Why not mind your own business by concentrating on finding yourself a hole or pole to fack, yourself?
In my opinion, there is no difference between a homophobe and a racist, for example! They are all equally evil of extreme prejudice and hatred!
This Abudunuhaji is always confused of himself.
