Women leaders have demanded an apology from the Malindi priest who linked a rise in gay marriage to failure on the part of women.

Ms Betty Sharon of Coast Women in Development said that Fr Ambrose Muli should apologise within three days or else women would mobilise themselves in thousands to storm his church.

Ms Sharon said it was wrong for the priest to issue such a statement during his sermon last Sunday.

She said women would meet to consider writing a protest letter to the Vatican to demand his sacking.

Sauti ya Kina Mama Tana Delta branch chairperson Anita Komora also condemned the Father Muli’s utterances.

And Coast ODM-K coordinator Amina Abdallah asked the church to investigate the priest’s conduct.

    As much as it concerns ones views women should not overeact over small isues such as this case of a church sermon where the priest could have been telling the women congregation to pull up there socks in marital matters hence this should not be thrown out of proportion

    I think the government should form a commission of inquire in to what the priest said about marriage. The question should be “Is it true its women’s fault that men are turning into gays?” When the report is ready within 3 years it should be put to referendum Kny style.
