KENYAN Muslim clerics on Wednesday condemned the government’s plans to import and freely distribute hundreds of millions of condoms. “This is a wrong signal the authorities are sending to our youth about promiscuous sex and it proves that sex, any kind of sex, is cool and tolerable,” Kenya’s National Council of Imams chairman Sheikh Ali Shee said on Wednesday. The clerics were reacting to reports on Wednesday that the government plans to import 300-million condoms for free distribution as part of a national strategy to reduce HIV infection among the 15-25 age group by 30% in the next four years. Kenya?s health ministry?s Aids Control Unit head Kenneth Chebet said the country’s daily economic loss as a direct result of the killer disease runs in excess of 200-million Kenyan shillings ($2,56-million dollars). – AFP
