    "content": "On gayism and lesbianism, the last time the former President of the United States of America (USA), Barrack Obama, was here, President Uhuru told him on his face that we appreciate him as one of our own, but on these issues, we will not go there. I salute people who love God and subscribe to Biblical issues. We will not accept same sex marriage in this country. When you read Article 45 of the Constitution, it is clear. It says: “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.” It goes ahead to say: “Every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on the free consent of the parties.” That is what we stand for. If you read Article 26 of the Constitution, you will see that every person has a right to life. At conception, you have no right to terminate a life. That is what we believe as Kenyans. Because the family is the source of social order, it also helps us in terms of cohesion. I want to thank everyone. I have no doubt the decisions this Commission will make when put in place, headed by a man of God, will be Godly. I wish to request the Members to pass this list of the NCIC commissioners, so that they can move to office with speed for us to see order and peaceful coexistence of Kenyans as we move forward. I support."
