Popular Gospel artiste Joji Baro is grumbling about Canada refusing him a visa because they fear that he may not come back to our country once he is in Canada.
In a Facebook post, Joji wrote:
Canada have just denied me visa on grounds that I'm likely not to come back because I failed to prove my family ties in Kenya and in Canada. I'm not surprised cause how am I supposed to prove I have a family connection with those that rejected me over five years ago? Two, since when did I have family ties in Canada? Do they really go through visa application at all? I doubt! What else do you expect from a country that is not ruled by a President... Huh? That is how Canada has been treating LGBTI activists from Africa and Asia for a very long time now. They can keep their country, I will keep my sexuality.
But this is not the first time a member of the LGBTIQ has been denied a Canadian Visa as a gay Kenyan activist Dennis Nzioka revealed.
“Canada, and particularly, their Kenyan Visa system, has historically denied Kenyan LGBTIQ activists Visas even for short stays despite proof of return. It goes way back almost 10 years ago when one lesbian activist was denied on the same flimsy grounds.” Dennis wrote consoling Joji who chimed in with “ Oh my God so I'm not the only one! This country why do they win big to host conferences in the first place... Smh. I feel horrible.”
