"content": "Sure, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. I rise to support the Motion by Sen. Wambua. I would like to shift focus a bit from the discussion of LGBTQ, to try and deliberate why the Supreme Court of Kenya has allowed this kind absurdity that is against our religion and African culture. Perhaps, we need to shift focus from poverty eradication to wealth creation. If the ruling was meant to please the organisations that are funding LGBTQ rights, then it is time our country shifted focus and concentrate on empowering the vast majority of the unemployed youth. How about we also think of diversifying our sources of income, tap into our vast resources and strengthen our industries to ensure that we have more jobs for these people? Madam Temporary Speaker, an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Hon. colleagues are alleging, which I agree with them, that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning Persons (LGBTQ) is evil. Our youth are idle and this is why they are engaging in evil activities. How about we try to get jobs for them, so that we have better sources of income. Thank you, Temporary Madam Speaker,"
