New law shuts door to gay weddings
Flashback to January 25, 2007, when University of Nairobi law student Judith Ngunjiri confessed to being a lesbian at the group’s tent at the World Social Forum conference at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Nairobi. Same sex marriages are not allowed in the proposed law. Photo/ FILE

In Summary
- Only marriages between opposite sex will be allowed by Kenyan law
It does not matter that you bought the good or service from a public or private entity. But this will only happen when the draft constitution becomes law.
Kenyans will also have a right to live anywhere in the country without restrictions, with the State being required to provide access to justice for all.
“The fee shall be reasonable and shall not impede access to justice,” reads the draft law.
These are just but a few of the many proposals the Committee of Experts have put forward for debate as they seek to protect rights of Kenyans and their fundamental freedom.
Kenyans must also be aware that if you are arrested by the police, the law requires that you should be arraigned before a court of law ‘as soon as reasonably possible.
This should not be later than 48 hours after your arrest or not later than the end of the first day in court after the expiry of the time.
The draft constitution also upholds an individual’s right to privacy, which includes the right not to have your house searched, possessions seized and information relating to their families or private affairs unnecessarily revealed.

Its not palatable in our African culture, we don't even have a term for such unions, it is a good move not to accommodate such, this is clearly not African and cannot be Africanised.

Homosexuality is a despicable mental illness so to say and those inflicted need psychiatric help. We cannot even think of mentioning it leave alone enshrining it in our constitution. We are not afraid of gay, but like any other disease, it can be infectious to susceptible young minds. The westerners have embraced it for their own reasons,may be due to mass self-rejection to perpetuate life. Keep gay out of the way. Choose life.

Am happy that the new law has shut out this people.They cry and say things as if they are totally right and we are wrong.Listen, we are simply following what God wants. And he did not tell us to sin. You Are simply creating the end of the world. Repent your sins and be God fearing.

This is a choice,detestable and judged by GOD.A fact its not even genetically inheritable,but an idea of the fresh,sickness of which people recovers,and we have testimonies of people who have, unless you know you're sick no one can help you.Next time if allowed they will claim rights to adopt children like in the west.While they deny the natural way of getting children.I used to take care of cattles when was young and did see any gays ones in over 10 different breeds.WHATS WRONG with us human beings?.
