President Ruto Breaks Silence on Supreme Court Ruling on Gay Rights Group

President Ruto has weighed in on the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the registration of rights groups for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) persons in Kenya.

Ruto condemned the ruling, saying his administration will not condone same-sex relationships as such practices do not conform to the country’s traditions and beliefs.

Speaking on Thursday during the launch of the Women Enterprise Fund and the second product of the Hustler Fund at KICC, Ruto stated that Kenya is a religious country guided by morality.

“We respect our courts but our traditions and beliefs do not allow same-sex relationships. That will not happen in Kenya, it may happen elsewhere but not in this country,” Ruto stated.

“I will not allow men to compete with women for other men,” he added.

The president further urged religious leaders to take a firm stand in the fight against the homosexuality agenda, which is being propagated in various platforms. 

“I want to ask our religious leaders to stand firm and educate our children, our people so that we don’t lose our beliefs and way of life to foreign practices,” he added.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua echoed the president’s sentiments, terming the apex court’s judgement as demonic.

“Those are satanic beliefs, and we do not want them. That contradicts what we believe,” Gachagua noted.

“President Ruto is God-fearing, he’s a man of faith, he will do what needs to be done. In any case we have our traditions and customs and what they are suggesting is repugnant to morality and our way of life,” he added.

    Oh God!
    How often do you see us LGBTQ community interfering with the heterosexual affairs? Never.

    LGBTQ community has always conformed to the heterosexual society without a choice. The tables are, turning my friends.

    We don’t choose to be LGBTQ but we were born that way. Coming out of the closet is a process not a choice. There is recognizing and accepting process which is influenced by the environment.Coming out can take years.

    I’m gay and I’m proud. Like I said before, I’ll say it again. In 5 years, the LGBTQ community will rule the world.

    Why was this even up for debate? Common sense prevails! Why people’s sexuality even needs to be an issue in this day and age is totally beyond me.They are people just like everyone else.Why are some so concerned with a persons private life.Live and let live in peace.

    All YES katiba voters voted U-SHOGA when they approved the many unlimited freedoms including destruction of property in the name of picketing/demonstration/civil disobedience.They also approved more rights to murder suspects than victims/their families.You cannot give Raila the right to murder and deny Kirubi & Co from swimming in the sewage line.

  4. Romans 1
    24 Therefore God…

    Romans 1

    24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

    26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

    28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

  5. @Ombote,
    Every individual…

    @Ombote,
    Every individual sees and interprets their world the way they view it and want it to be.
    In 5 years, the world will be under God’s law and cultural law. Man’s law of doing what everyone thinks fit is about to be overtaken.
    Watch this space and see everyone will do and be where the creator intended them to be. Soon, ” Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess”
    New Light will shine on every creature!! May the real God reign Supreme!!
