That one I will not agree William Ruto breaths fire on the LGBTQ ruling by the Supreme Court

by Chief Okuzo

President William Ruto delivered a fiery speech at the Kenyatta International Conference Center (KICC) during the International Women’s Day celebrations, in which he unequivocally expressed his views on homosexuality.

President Ruto declared that he will not stand the pressure to legalize something contrary to the country’s religious beliefs, calling on religious leaders to stand firm against the introduction of homosexuality in the country.

“najua kuna watu wengi ambao wanaeneza hii maneno, na watoto wetu kule University wanahangaishwa na mafundisho ya haya maneno machafu, mimi nataka kuwaambia viongozi wa kidini, Waislamu na Wakristo wasimame kidete ili tusipoteze mila na desturi zetu za Wakristo na Waislamu katika majukwaa ambayo yanatuletea mambo ambayo ni ya kigeni katika taifa hili ” President Ruto said.

He stated that foreign pressure would not cause him to introduce same-sex marriage and affairs in Kenya, as it would be competition to the straight citizens of the country. “akina mama siwezi ruhusu wasichana wenzenyu wawaletee competition, siwezi kuruhusu wanaume wawaletee competition, ata wanaume wameenda kutafuta wanaume, sasa nyinyi aki mama mtatoa wanaume wapi, wakati ambapo wanaume wameenda kukaa na wanaume wenzao, That One i will not agree ” Ruto declared,

Despite President William Ruto’s firm stance against homosexuality, his statements on the matter are at odds with the recent ruling made by the Supreme Court of Kenya. The court declared that it was discriminatory to deny LGBTQ members the right to register as an NGO, which directly contradicts Ruto’s position.

The ruling, which was made by the Supreme Court of Kenya on February 24, 2023, allowed LGBTQ members to register as an NGO, despite homosexuality being considered unlawful in the country. This decision was met with backlash from lawmakers and government officials who claimed that it was discriminatory and violated Kenyan law and culture.

In the halls of parliament, tensions ran high as the topic of the recent court ruling allowing the LGBTQ community to register as an NGO was debated. MP Mwalyo Joshua took the floor, calling for the issue to be discussed as a matter of national concern.

However, not all were in agreement. MP Joshua Kimilu spoke out against the decision, accusing the West of attempting to destroy Kenyan culture. He argued that if they couldn’t give donations to Kenyans without conditions, then they should keep it.

MP George Murugara also had strong words on the matter, calling for a review of the Supreme Court’s decision. He claimed that morality should take precedence over the law and stated that some aspects of LGBTQ were outlawed. He further asserted that anything associated with those characters could not be allowed to stand against the morals of the Kenyan people.

The debate over LGBTQ rights in Kenya has sparked intense feelings among lawmakers and government officials, with some advocating for the protection of traditional values and others calling for the recognition and protection of the rights of all citizens, regardless of sexual orientation.
