Thursday, March 2, 2023 –Members of Parliament MPs have added their voice on those vouching for removal of judges who made a ruling in favour of LGBTQ members in the country.

A seven-judge bench, last week, allowed LGBTQ affiliated persons to register their association in line with what the freedom of association requires.

MPs, led by Homa Bay lawmaker Peter Kaluma alongside a larger section of the country, however, now say the top judges who made the controversial ruling must be removed from office for going against the culture of the country which remains supreme.

“The supreme court finds it’s a crime to be homosexual or to engage in unnatural sexual acts in Kenya! The Court, however, orders the NGOs Board to register association of LGBTQs! How do you register an association of criminals! What a contradiction!

“We MUST arrest homosexuality, bestiality and those other unnatural acts before the vices destroy our society!” Kaluma wondered on the ruling day.

Uganda’s president Yoweri Museveni, in contrast, has taken the battle against LGBTQ to the villages declaring that the vice will not be tolerated under his leadership.

And addressing the floor of the National Assembly on Wednesday March 1, Likoni MP Mishi Mboko put President William Ruto’s proclamation of the Christian faith to the test by asking him to openly declare his stand on the questionable community.

“I want to see the President speak on this matter and rebuke it as openly as he professes the Christian faith,” Mboko called out Ruto for his deafening silence.

Her sentiments were supported by her counterpart from Mwingi North, MP Paul Nzengu and Kaloleni lawmaker Paul Katana, both who asked the president to borrow a leaf from Ugandan Yoweri Museveni and give the country a direction.

Seven years ago, while attending a Sunday church service at the Jesus Winners Ministry JWM in Nairobi, the then Deputy President Dr. Ruto dismissed attempts by some quarters to legalize lesbianism and gays in the country.

He categorically pointed out that Kenya was a Christian nation with moral s and values that cannot be compromised.
