KENYAS President Daniel arap Moi has called for the death penalty for those who deliberately infected their sexual partners with the HIV virus, which can lead to Aids, and life imprisonment for rapists. “The time has come for those who deliberately infect others to die and those who rape to be jailed for life,” Moi said on Saturday when he returned from New York, where he attended last week’s special session of the UN General Assembly on the HIV/Aids pandemic. “We have to make laws that deter those who deliberately infect others because young girls cannot protect themselves from such criminals,” Moi was quoted as saying. Moi said the church had not done enough to create Aids awareness among its followers. “If 80% of Kenyans are Christians, why is Aids spreading so fast?,” the president remarked. About 2,5-million adult Kenyans are officially estimated to be living with HIV and about 500 people are said to die of HIV related infections every day. – AFP
