    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to this treaty. The original treaty took care of a number of issues that affected people within Caribbean and African countries. Originally, the agreement addressed issues of human rights but as many Members have said, whatever is being introduced talks about explicit sexual education for children. Most African countries belong to different cultures which have their own way of doing things. In Kenya, one can only get married after attaining the age of 18 years. We will not agree if anybody wants to introduce a proposal to expose our children to sexual education when they have not attained the adult age of 18 years. The LGBTQIA+ movement, which is about men marrying men and women marrying other women, is un-African. As we all know, we have never heard of anything of that sort in the African society. We all know that from the beginning, a man was meant to marry a woman for purposes of reproduction. Even if you go back to the Bible, when God created a man and eventually created a woman, they were meant to be co- creators. They were meant to work together with God for purposes of creation. You can only bring forth a human being when there is consummation between a man and woman. There will be no reproduction when a man marries another man or a woman marries another woman. Besides our African culture, I profess the Catholic faith like the Speaker and even in our own faith, that is unacceptable. We all know that a man and a woman are supposed to come together to reproduce and to bring forth life which cannot happen when a man marries a man or a woman marries a woman.
