    "content": "It is prudent to note and appreciate that all acts of unnatural sex and associations have been criminalised in the Penal Code (Chapter 63 Laws of Kenya) as further read with the Sexual Offences Act (No. 3 of 2006). The ruling by the apex court presents an unforeseen avenue that will open a floodgate of unprecedented acts and activities where groups and associations are likely to register their associations citing existence of the very right exercised by the NGLHRC. The same shall be cited as legal procedure to argue reasonable grounds for such registration. On 2nd April 2013, NGLHRC attempted to reserve a name for registration as an NGO with the NGOs Co-ordination Board but the names were deemed unacceptable. In April 2013, after three attempts to change the name, NGLHRC sought services of an advocate and filed a petition at the High Court of Kenya, Petition No. 44 of 2013. On 24th April 2015, the High Court of Kenya delivered the first judgement by a three-judge Bench confirming freedom of association for people of diverse identities and expanding Article 27 of the Constitution to include non-discrimination of people."
