Speaking to popular Kenyan website TUKO.co.ke, Collins said he was pushed to become gay at first while he was in South Africa.

"It was painful at first as I was not accustomed to it. I was staying with a white man who was paying for my rent and other necessities. I persevered for one year. I was also paying my uncle's bills in South Africa, so I had little money left. After the one year, I returned to Kenya," he said.

He later went to Saudi Arabia, where, like South Africa, he had to sleep with men to earn extra coins.

The Nairobi man said, to some extent, he was pushed by greed when in the Gulf to yield to the men's desire.

"I wanted to fight poverty back home, and so I continued with my gay lifestyle in the Gulf. Some paid me KSh 2,000 and others KSh 4,000. Others would prefer to give me gifts for the services. Not that I wanted to, but when I thought of life back home, it was like I had no option," he narrated.
