    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is Public Petition No.43 of 2019 regarding funding of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, queer and intersex - otherwise known as LGBTQI - agenda by foreign organisations in Kenya. I, the undersigned, on behalf of faith-based organisations and religious institutions, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the Preamble of the Constitution acknowledges the supremacy of the Almighty and commits to nurturing and protecting the well-being of the individual, family, communities and the nation; THAT, Article 36 of the Constitution guarantees the freedom of association with an inhibiting clause that the registration of a body under this right can be reasonably withheld or withdrawn; THAT, Article 45 of the Constitution further states that every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex based on the free consent of the parties; THAT, on 22nd March 2019, three judges of the Court of Appeal at Nairobi delivered a ruling on Petition No.440 of 2013 upholding the judgement rendered by a three-judge High Court Bench on 24th April 2015; THAT, the said judgement allowed the petition of Eric Gitari, who seeks to register a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) with the NGOs Coordination Board; THAT, the core objective of the said NGO would be to address the violence and human rights abuses suffered by gay and lesbian people; THAT, paedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing that their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexual; THAT, the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, namely, “The Psychiatrists’ Bible” and other reputed international media research institutions have variously classified such sexual orientation and deviation as sociopathic condition and non-psychotic mental disorder; THAT, there exists an institution in Kenya by the name “National Gays and Lesbians Human Rights Commission” which has openly admitted to receiving foreign funding for their activities; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
