    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand here as a Christian to oppose this LGBTQIA+ movement. I am very uncomfortable with it. Our social fabric has now been attacked by an institution that we thought would take into consideration the survival of our future generations. From what we have seen in the Supreme Court, we will most likely get a human and animal movement tomorrow demanding for the right of association because there are some human beings with an appetite for animals. They will also go to court to demand for their rights. This case has set a precedent and we should expect anything from our Supreme Court. I join other Members in opposing this because this is a very serious matter. They have no regard for the survival of humanity in Kenya. This is foreign behavior, which is common in affluent communities. It is not common in rural areas. It is not common in areas that preach religion, for example, among Muslims, Christians or even Hindus. More than 90 per cent of Kenyans worship God. The perpetrators of this funny behaviour do not even constitute 0.00001 per cent of our population. I thought that the Chief Justice of Kenya is a mother and the Supreme Court Justices are fathers, brothers and sisters. Did they really make that ruling knowing full well that this matter would generate a lot of heat in our circles? The time has come for us to preserve our dignity as Kenyans. We cannot allow an institution in the name of the Supreme Court to tell us to subscribe to whichever sexual orientation we want because it is a human right. There must be a limitation on human rights and association. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am not a lawyer, but you are. I am sure that in your understanding, that judgement did not take into consideration the implied expectations of majority of Kenyans. We ask the Supreme Court to review its judgement and to listen to the majority of Kenyans. We ask the Supreme Court to look at what the Constitution provides in terms of human rights. This matter has been lying in the Supreme Court for many years. It is our Supreme Court, which has a history of making funny judgements that made this ruling. Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Martha Koome, please, relook at that. You have condemned our society and the lives of our children. You are telling us that Kenyans can do anything. It is a shame! It is a shame! It is a shame! I am ashamed by the decision of the Supreme Court. We must condemn it. If there is anything that should bring us together, then it is this. I am also waiting for Baba to comment on this matter."
