    "content": " Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I want to begin by saying the purpose of government is to protect the freedom and dignity of its people and the natural right to self-preservation. The natural right to self- preservation talks about family. Any time we begin to redefine and weaken the position of family, we are endangering the natural right to self-preservation as a community. The Supreme Court’s decision used its privilege to allow what is known in the streets as the tyranny of the minority over majority. The population of the whole world is about 7.9 billion people out of which 2.4 billion are Christians, 1.8 billion are Muslims, 1.3 billion are Hindus, and 0.6 billion are Buddhists. The rest are represented by the remaining figure. You can tell that over 80 per cent of the total population of the world believes in creation. They believe in heterosexual relationships (a relationship between a man and a woman) not only for pleasure, love and relationship but also for procreation and survival of the human race. If this has been done and if the ruling by the Supreme Court is cast in stone, I do not think it can overturn our Constitution. We are going to invoke, This House is an arm of Government. When such situations that are endangering the lives of our people happen, we must take it to the referendum where Kenyans will have an opportunity to speak. We cannot be dictated upon by a civilisation on its lowest ebb in history."
