The Russian government is now stepping in on the controversy over the Supreme Court decision that permitted the registration of LGBTQ organizations nationwide.
The Russian Embassy in Kenya blames Western nations for pushing the LGBTQ agenda, which it claims is an infringement on traditional values and cultural standards that should be preserved, in a tweet posted on its Twitter account.
If we do not preserve traditional values that should maintain the family, "humankind is doomed," according to the Russian government.
That is only the beginning, the West will come for more.
Traditional values shall be protected, otherwise humanity is doomed.
Not parent 1 and parent 2, but family! Not rules, but law! https://t.co/siGRX7DKvi— Russian Embassy in Kenya/Посольство России в Кении (@russembkenya) March 2, 2023Did you read this?
"The West will demand more; that is merely the beginning. If traditional values are not upheld, humanity will perish. not parents 1 and 2, but rather, relatives! Law, not regulations! "the Kenyan Embassy of Russia wrote.
The Embassy tweeted ostensibly in support of comments made by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who came out forcefully against the Supreme Court's decision enabling LGBTQ people to create association groups.
"Such practices are against our beliefs and satanic. We have our own traditions and customs, and what they advocate is incompatible with morality, justice, and our way of life "declared Gachagua on Thursday.
The Russian Embassy's remarks are reminiscent of those expressed by the nation's influential political and religious figures.

Members of the National Assembly demanded that the Supreme Court answer questions for what they claimed was an attempt to legislate from the bench and declare decisions on LGBTQ to appease Western Nations after the contentious Supreme Court decision sparked outrage in Parliament.
The Legislators urged the bench to reconsider its ruling, arguing that it violated cultural expectations and endangered present and future generations.
The LGBTQ group has the right to organize, the Supreme Court of Kenya decided on Monday.
The ruling ended a legal debate and discussion on the rights given to gays and homosexuals in the country that lasted almost ten years.
Most of the justices concluded that the lower court's refusal to allow the gay community in Kenya to register as a non-governmental organization constituted discriminatory (NGO).
