"content": "I want to hear the leadership of this country speak against this issue. In fact, I think the President of this country should write immediately to the Attorney-General to appeal this ruling. It is not bearable. Yes, Kenya has Christian, Muslims, and many other denominations. However, our Constitution is supreme. Article 11 expressly says it. Prof. Yash Pal Ghai and his commission spoke about it; Bomas 1 and Bomas 2 were against this thing. How can we then, in 2023, admit the gays and lesbians of this world to rule this country? From my seat, I am telling the people of Mavoko whom I represent, to tell gays and lesbians, if they see them, to be wary of me. I am going to tell you what you are going to do with them. We cannot allow that as Kenyans. We must condemn this ruling by all means, even if it means us calling those judges to apologise to Kenyans and say they judged and ruled when they were not sober. This House has a role to legislate and make laws that befit this country. Let us not forget our mandate. Let us stand by virtues."
