<p>An official with Kenya&#8217;s largest gay rights organisation said there is panic among its members following remarks made by Kenya&#8217;s prime minister that homosexuals should be arrested.</p>
<p>The office of the Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya received calls from concerned members, some of whom are HIV-positive and fear they will be arrested when they collect life-prolonging medicine from government clinics, board member Nguru Karugu said.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Raila Odinga said homosexuals who are found in the midst of sex acts will be arrested.</p>
<p>Mr Odinga&#8217;s spokesman said in a statement that the prime minister was quoted out of context.</p>
<p>In an audio recording of Sunday&#8217;s speech, the prime minister says in the Kenyan language of Kiswahili that &#8220;if a man is caught having sex with the other we jail them, or if a girl is caught with the other &#8230; we will jail them&#8221;.</p>
<p>In the latter part of his statement he used profanity to explain lesbianism.</p>
<p>&#8220;We want a country that is clean, a clean way of doing thing has clean mannerisms &#8230; we do not want things to do with sodomy,&#8221; Mr Odinga said.</p>
<p>Kenya&#8217;s laws prohibit &#8220;sex against the order of nature&#8221;. That charge is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.</p>
<p>Mr Karugu said the prime minister&#8217;s remarks are a big blow to Kenya&#8217;s efforts to reduce the spread of HIV/Aids. He said the government has included gays in its plans to combat the virus.</p>
<p>Civil rights activist Zawadi Nyongo called for a protest outside the prime minister&#8217;s office.</p>
