    "content": "ruling has gone against the values, norms and traditions that we believe in Africa. It is giving a very bad precedent to this country, because so many other groups are going to come up and it is going to be very chaotic. For example, we have those very many groups that believe in fantasies and fetishes; and there are those who subscribe to bestiality. They are also going to say that they want their right to associate. We have the necrophilia, who are also going to say that they want a right to associate. We have paedophiles. They will also want their rights to associate. If such rulings are made in this country, then this precedence is going to make it very complicated for this country to make decisions in future. As a country, we should be careful of what we adopt from the Western countries, which have their own beliefs, norms, and traditions. So, it is wrong to just copy what we see on the internet without considering what the majority of people feel. Of late, the Supreme Court has been making very controversial rulings that do not go hand in hand with the beliefs of many Kenyans. I wonder why this is happening in this country, where the Supreme Court is ruling against the thoughts and ideals of most Kenyans. Even in this House, almost 100 per cent of the Members are opposed to that ruling. These Members represent the people, and this means that 99 per cent of the country does not subscribe to that kind of behaviour. Therefore, on whose favour are they ruling on? Is it a coincidence that the First Lady of the USA was here, and two days later, the ruling was made? A day later, Kenya was promised to receive Ksh16 billion. Is it a coincidence or was this planned by the Government, the Supreme Court and the USA? Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is so much that can be said about this issue, but I can see the red light is on, and I will give other Members time to contribute."
