A Kenyan couple have defended their decision to name their son after Donald Trump, after facing strong criticism in some quarters, the local Daily Nation newspaper reports.
The baby boy, whose full name is Donald Trump Otieno, was born on 9 August in the western county of Kisumu and was given the topical name because his parents admire the Republican candidate’s principles, the paper adds.
His father revealed that the boy was named before Mr Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential contest. “At the time, I was not sure whether Mr Trump would pull a surprise victory but I had the conviction the businessman had what it took to be a leader,” Felix Otieno told the paper.
