Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has raised concern over the high cases of divorce and separation among families in the country.

Speaking in Nairobi on Monday, Pastor Dorcas openly disapproved same sex marriages, noting that family was an institution created by God between a man and a woman.

Pastor  Dorcas was speaking during a prayer meeting organised by Tuombeni Kenya.

The meeting was also attended by First Lady Rachel Ruto among other church leaders from across denominations.

Pastor Dorcas led the gathering in praying for families and against sexual immorality.

“Today, families are under attack and family values are no longer esteemed. Families have no honour anymore. We have new generation philosophies of men marrying men and women marrying women, and this we must say no to. The counsel of God shall stand,” she said.

“It is not the time for us to play around, God hates sexual sin. If there is anything that makes God destroy a people is sexual immorality. If we condone it, this God will not spare us no matter how good we think we are,” Pastor Dorcas added.

She further urged the church leaders to open their churches for the restoration of the boy child who is living in the streets and lost in alcohol and drug abuse.

The Second Lady said conflicts are killing the boy child across Africa.

"There are also illicit brews, drugs and alcohol that have led to the death of our sons. Africa and Kenya have a huge widow burden. Let us open our churches for the boy child to feed , clean and clothe them,” she said.

Pastor Dorcas expressed concern about the high number of widows in the country, which underscored the high deaths of the men.

She said she had observed the trend during different widows and orphans meetings she has held in different parts of the country.

They include Laikipia, Kilifi, Embu and Meru among others.
