"content": "God meant for people to live and not to be killed or kill themselves. If they have to die, it should be as per God’s plans. If we decriminalise attempted suicide in this country, we would be picking many people who have committed suicide from the streets. We must ensure that every Kenyan looks at life... Why do we oppose abortion? Why do we say we are pro-life as a country and on the other hand, we want to decriminalise a situation where someone takes it away? As a Christian and as a person who believes that life is sacred and must be preserved, I oppose this Petition, and I want to ask this House not to ever pass such a law. We will stand to be judged, and the Christian fraternity needs to come out and tell Prof. Atwoli that he is wrong to say those things. I stand with all Christians who believe that we are pro-life, we must preserve life, and let life go because God has willed, but not because man has willed that that person must die. I oppose."
