UCTD Sexual minorities -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Kenya Judicial power -- Kenya Gays -- Kenya -- Protection Sexual rights -- Kenya Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2011. The debate stirred by the recent appointment of a chief justice and deputy chief justice under the judicial reform process envisaged in Kenya‟s new Constitution has, once again, brought to the fore the attitude surrounding sexual minorities. A section of religious organisations and citizens rejected the nominees because they perceived the duo to either belong to or to support sexual minority groups. The hostility and antipathy directed at the two is not new. In recent times, the clergy and state officials have been quoted calling for the arrest of gays. It is common for perceived homosexuals and lesbians to be harassed because of their sexual orientation. Support for the rights and welfare of this group draws quick condemnation. In October 2010, a minister who stated that there should be HIV/AIDS mitigation programmes for lesbians and gays was sharply criticised by religious leaders who termed her remarks „satanic‟ and „contrary to African culture‟, and called for her dismissal. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-05-02T08:45:38Z 2012-05-02T08:45:38Z 2011/10/28 Mini Dissertation Nyarang'o, II 2011/10/28, The role of the judiciary in the protection of sexual minorities in Kenya, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18647> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18647 en University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
