The film was lifted from the short story Jambula Tree by Uganda’s award winning writer Monica Aruc de Nyeko.
The book received a Caine Prize Award Writing of the year in 2007
The moved has been termed by the film producer Wanuri Kahiu as very disappointing.
The moves comes barely a week after President Uhuru Kenyatta categorically stated on CNN interview with Christian Amanpour , that Kenya had more serious issues to look into than LGBT debate
