The couple separated four years ago but remained close. Mr Chege now lives with his partner in a one-bedroom council flat in Finsbury Park, North London. Born in Gaturi village in Murang’a Mr Chege dropped out of primary school before he could finish Standard Eight due to what he once said were financial difficulties.

Living home with only Sh5, Chege moved to Nairobi in 1989 in search of employment. With the help of a relative, he first secured a job at fruit kiosk in the city centre. In a newspaper interview in 2000, he said he had always been attracted to men and it was while in the city that he was able to find his way into Nairobi’s gay community. He left the country in 1994, first flying to Spain before moving to London where he met Cleaves. The couple visited Kenya on holiday on several times and spent some time at Chege’s home in Murang’a.

    to nyamachaki. Delamare was protecting himself and his friends and should never have gone to prison in the first place, you should be looking more at the post election violence and who staretd it.

    I am always weary of people who are so homophobic. What does it matter if two guys get married? how is that affecting your life on a regular basis? Where is this same outrage when it comes to things like Delamare's grandson who was released from prison for killing two kenyans and all he got was 8 months? thats what should be important, thats what should cause outrage. People are so petty and ridiculous and this is why African nations will always remain BEHIND! Why as this even in the news? this is NOT news!
