    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is a controversial, comprehensive sexual education for young children and special LGBTQIA+ rights. This generation is going through too many problems and we are only looking upon the young people to salvage this generation. When you go to European countries and countries in the north generally, the social fabric of a family is broken. They should not let the stress of broken families be transferred to us. We are not the cause of their broken families and they should leave us with our strong family values. Probably, that is the only thing that we have pride in and what we need to have to ourselves. We are Africans and Africa is our business. We must protect the sanctity and character of the family because we do not have strong social welfare programmrs in Africa. We depend on these children. Some of us would die of heart attack if it ever came across our mind that any of our children are members of the LGBTQIA+. We should not, in any way, allow the Parliament of Kenya and the current Government to institutionalise the demolition of family values at this particular moment. I would, therefore, urge our colleagues who are privileged to participate in the negotiation of this post-Cotonou Agreement to stamp their authority firmly, squarely and without fear to stipulate that the agreement majorly focuses on trade issues. Let us redefine human rights in the context of Africa. Otherwise, we are dragging our continent and country to ape values, culture and traditions that are extremely alien to us and are going to destroy whatever values we have with us."
