Is an American religious group pushing the anti-LGBT agenda?
We hear from Peter Kaluma, the Kenyan MP sponsoring anti-gay legislation. He was one of a number of African MPs who attended a conference sponsored by a US Mormon pressure group.
Across Africa there are moves afoot to toughen laws against the gay community.
In May, President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill – giving Uganda some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws in the world.
But now Ghana’s and Kenya’s parliaments are due to soon start debating even tougher legislation.
Just after the Ugandan bill was passed, MPs from a number of countries across the continent attended a networking conference in Entebbe sponsored by the socially conservative US Mormon pressure group ‘Family Watch International’.
One of them was the MP behind the Kenyan bill, George Peter Kaluma.
The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s Catherine Byaruhanga spoke to him.
