Four MPs have asked Attorney General Githu Muigai and the Non Governmental Organisation board to appeal the High Court ruling allowing gays and lesbians to form a union.
Judges Isaac Lenaola, Mumbi Ngugi and George Odunga made the landmark ruling on Monday that effectively legalises same sex unions in the country.
Minority leader Francis Nyenze (Kitui West), minority whip Thomas Mwadeghu (Wundanyi), Abdulswamad Nassir (Mvita) and Irungu Kang'ata (Kiharu) faulted the court ruling and urged Christians, Muslims and Hindus to condemn the move.
“The AG should immediately file an appeal. If we allow the union to be formed, our generation is at risk of practicing this displeasing, unnatural act,” Kang'ata said.
“Religious leaders and their faithful should come out in large numbers over the weekend and express their anger at the court’s decision. It has to be a day of fury, as they issue a pastoral statement condemning the ruling.”
Kang'ata said the judges’ argument was "shallow and misguided".
"The argument to consider views of the minority does not hold," he said.
Kang'ata said the Penal Code criminalises gayism and lesbianism.
Mwadeghu said the matter should be considered in-depth.
“As a religion we are opposed to gays and lesbians. This is contrary to the traditions and beliefs of our people. Let us not try to import foreign practices in the name of civilisation,” he said.
Mwadeghu is the chairman of Catholic MPs caucus.
The legislators addressed the media at Parliament Buildings yesterday.
They said by allowing gays and lesbians to exercise their rights, the country will be putting at risk good values and morals.
“This is disgusting. The constitution recognises unions of opposite sex and not people of the same gender. We cannot allow such immoral acts. They will destroy our future generation. We are setting this country on fire,” Nyenze said.
Nassir said the Judiciary continues to shock the nation “with controversial rulings like this one.”
“The constitution does not recognize same sex union and therefore the relationship is illegal. The law protects persons of unpopular views but we cannot allow illegal entities and outfits to be formed,” he said.
