    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I was worried that those who had spoken earlier were interrupting and taking much of our time because we also wanted to contribute. I join Kenyans to condemn the ruling that was done by the three Supreme Court judges about the association of LGBTQ. That ruling was a disguised ruling to allow marriages of the same sex because they said they can associate. It was a soft way of saying they can get married - same sex marriages - which they fought for the last ten years. Nevertheless, we have opposed and people have gone to the streets. I do not know why we have not seen people coming outside the Senate or National Assembly or going to Supreme Court to condemn these things that happened on Friday last week. Madam Temporary Speaker, most of us, including myself, are Christians. I am a staunch Christian and I believe in heterosexual marriages. The Bible is very clear. Our cultures as Africans are very clear. In fact, there is nothing in the African culture that states that a man with another man would associate for purposes getting married or being intimate. Therefore, I do not know why our Supreme Court judges are telling us to adopt the Western culture. It is an abomination. If you read the Bible, Genesis, Chapter 2, God made the earth, he created man and he saw that man needs a helper and that helper is not another man, it is a woman. We are given a command to go to the world, procreate and fill it. If this thing is now legalized, it means that in another 10, 50 or 100 years, we will be extinct. There will be no one in this world. Madam Temporary Speaker, we condemn this. In Leviticus Chapter 13, it is detestable for a man to associates and have sex with another man. It is an abomination. In those old days, you would be killed. I agree with the President of Uganda, His Excellency Museveni, who warned that if two men associate and get married, they will be jailed until one of them gives birth. I know none will give birth. Madam Temporary Speaker---"
