    "content": "I have seen other people attacking other people’s cultural practices, for example, the circumcision practice. Worldwide, many people are not circumcised. So, people should not attack communities based on their cultural practices. Cohesion is about respecting people’s diversity in terms of religion, ethnic and cultural practices. Today, I am speaking like a pro-life Catholic. I salute Hon. Duale, the Speaker and the President for the good work they have done. During the opening of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) forum, I was keen. There was an element of sexual health rights. Some of the issues on it were that children as young as eight years should access contraceptives and sex education. That was part of the 12 points of the ICPD. His Excellency the President Uhuru Kenyatta was categorical and said that he will only support some of them. He did not subscribe to all the 12 points. We salute him for that. He is a Catholic and a family person. We were shocked with some of the 12 points. We are in neo-colonialism. People want to give us money with conditions and force us to sign into issues that are against the culture of this country.
