    "content": "Two, this jurisprudence undermines rationality under which other penal offences are predicated upon because if you allow gay relationships, there will be no reason why you will not legalise marijuana, allow bestiality, suicide and incest because you can as well say, it is the people’s choice. Therefore, we must oppose that decision. Otherwise, we will open a pandoras box where Kenya will allow marijuana, bestiality, suicide and incest. This is so because they will say it is consensual sex. Therefore, we must oppose the jurisprudence which is being championed by the courts. Three, this jurisprudence undermines constitutionally protected institutions, for example, the family. Allow me to read Article 45 of the Constitution. It provides in express terms. Article 45(1) of the Constitution states- “The family is the natural and fundamental unit of society and the necessary basis of social order, and shall enjoy the recognition and protection of the State.” This means that the courts, this Parliament and the Executive have a constitutional duty to protect the family. I am a newly wedded man."
