Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has condemned the Supreme Court ruling that allowed LGBTQ members to register an NGO in Kenya.
Speaking on Thursday, Gachagua said the LGBTQ is part of Satanic beliefs.
“Those are satanic beliefs, and we do not want them. That contradicts what we believe in,” Gachagua noted.
The DP further highlighted that the President of Kenya himself was a God-fearing man.
“President Ruto is God-fearing, he’s a man of faith, and 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.
The DP further noted that the executive had not addressed the matter because they wondered why the Supreme Court made the ruling.
"I was shocked... There are times when you can be shocked until you have nothing to say. We are hearing that there is an organisation that wants to defend same-sex marriage. What is that?" he posed.
Gachagua was speaking during the launch of the Women Enterprise Fund and the second product of the Hustler Fund at KICC on Thursday.
On February 24, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the registration of the LGBTQ community as a society by the NGO Coordination Board.
"It would be unconstitutional to limit the right to associate through denial of registration of an association purely on the basis of the sexual orientation of the applicants," the court ruled.
