Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Members of Parliament on Wednesday, March 1 displayed a rare show of unity to reject the Supreme Court’s decision that allowed members of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community to form and register organisations.
The caucus groups including Catholic MPs Spiritual Initiative (CAMPSI), Bunge Fellowship Group, and those of the Muslim faith termed the act as ungodly, immoral, and against the African culture.
“We have many pressing challenges affecting the country currently like drought, hunger, poor infrastructure, and somebody choosing to fund LGBTQ,” CMPSI chairman Innocent Obiri said.
He added: “The support for the LGBTQ is now linked to foreign aids, you are denied funding if you oppose LGBTQ.”
CAMPSI Secretary General who is also the Tongaren MP John Chikati warned the NGO Board against registering any association linked to LGBTQ saying such a move will cause its disbandment.
