The whole thing about homosexuality is on the rise. We have to be alert as institutions of Kenya. I want to request the Supreme Court of Kenya to always remember it is the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kenya, and must be like us and think like us. In this country, Christians and Muslims are 93 per cent. We might differ a bit on the mathematics, but the Christians are 63 per cent and Muslims are 30 per cent. Each of those dominant religions believe that sex should be conducted in accordance with the order of nature. Regardless of what my friend, Hon. Caroli, has said – that he is trying to be sympathetic about how people behave – the truth is that our religions… I am a Roman Catholic and I do not believe this is the way to go. More importantly, we are Africans. Hon. Members, let us not behave like the word ‘values’ is lost. We must have values. What do we stand for, as black Africans? It has never been our nature to behave the way the Supreme Court wants to persuade us to behave. We must stand tall and strong because of our culture. I do not know how homosexuality works. I know under the Penal Code that men are not supposed to have sex with fellow men. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
