OBAMA will not to meet RUTO because he an ICC fugitive and Gay/ Lesbian persecutor.

Renowned columnist, Prof Makau Mutua, has said US President Barrack Obama, who is expected in Kenya on Friday, should not meet Deputy President William Ruto because he is an International Criminal Court (ICC) fugitive and the number one enemy of gays in Kenya.

Through social media on Tuesday, Makau, who is a fierce human rights defender, said Obama should not meet Ruto because by doing so, he will be seen to be supporting anti-gay activists and war criminals.

Last month, Ruto said Kenya has no room for gays and lesbians and asked those pushing that agenda to go to hell. US President Barrack Obama is among leaders who are pushing for gay rights in Kenya.

"The Republic of Kenya is a republic that worships God. We have no room for gays and those others," Ruto told a church congregation in Swahili.

But Makau termed Ruto as “a homophobic deputy” who should not have an audience with a leader of a free nation.
