    "content": "However, public-private organisations are expected to behave in a certain manner. They are expected to be independent, voluntary, non-partisan, and non-profit making, and to work for the public good. Over the years, we have had issues with whether they adhere to the required values and principles. Kenya has had problems. We had chaos and civil societies being funded to cause chaos in this country. This country was nearly brought down during the Gen Z demonstrations. Public-private organisations have not been non-partisan as expected of them. This tribunal comes at a time when it is required to resolve disputes where things are not done correctly. Mostly, privileged persons lead them. They take their children to top-notch schools, yet they want Kenyans to suffer at times. Their purpose is mainly to get funds without regard to where to use the funds. Public-private organisations are the ones agitating for LGBTQ rights. We belong to a moral society. We are a country anchored on recognising God and religion. Our Constitution recognises the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It is the basic unit and source of social order. In as much as there is a lacuna in our laws that does not forbid queer behaviour, it is improper when civil society organisations try to propagate LBGTQ rights actively. You will see so many people supporting gays. This dispute tribunal has much work. This is the time they should at least engage and resolve disputes on funding, mandates, and disputes on so many other things done behind the country. We were about to lose our country. This tribunal should be up to the task of ensuring that we do not lose our stability. We safeguard our stability because we have enjoyed an island of peace for some time. You know we have Somalia on one side. We know what is happening in Sudan, South Sudan and other parts of East and Central Africa. I am concerned that we may lose our country if these civil society organisations are not audited and held accountable. This tribunal should be tough and thorough on public-private organisations. I support the nominees. Thank you."
