Member sought to be informed on the following:- The reason for the non- enforcement of the anti-gay laws; whether there are any organizations in Kenya which champion violation of the anti-gay laws; the steps that the Government is taking against such organizations, if any, including deregistration or curtailing the organizations’ activities. I wish to state as follows as per the Statement from the Cabinet Secretary in charge of national security. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Penal Code, Cap.63 of the Laws of Kenya, Sections 162, 163 and 165 prohibit unnatural acts between human beings and between human beings and animals. Contrary to the hon.
