    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to quote the Bible. Leviticus 13:22 states- “Do not practice homosexuality. Having sex with another man or with a woman is a staple sin” Further, Leviticus 20:13 states- “If a man practices homosexuality; having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have a committed a despicable act. They must both be put to death for they are guilty of a capital offence” The Penal Code says the same quote. Under Section 56 it says that you will be jailed for 14 years, yet this is a capital offence in the Godly penal code. This is a very serious matter. The Supreme Court is composed of seven Judges. The decision is reviewable by the Supreme Court before it is implemented. Secondly, these sorts of acts are very common in jails, schools, and in many parts of the community. It is a high time Kenyans knew that it is a serious matter. In the Swahili version of the Bible in quote says, “ ni chukizo kwa Bwana.” Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a very serious matter. The lawyers in this House are joining Hon. Kaluma on this to make sure that this decision is reviewed as quickly as possible before it is implemented."
