The Jamia Mosque Committee in Nairobi referred to the ruling as "unfortunate," saying that it would harm the religious, cultural, and familial traditions that are the cornerstone of societal ties.

According to Abdulbari Hamid, secretary general of the Jamia Mosque Committee, "The decision by three of the five Supreme Court judges to allow gays and lesbians to have Legal recognition is shocking, unbecoming, and totally unacceptable to Kenyans who value religion, cultural traditions, and family relations."

Hamid also expressed his worries over marketing children's books supporting homosexuality in prestigious bookshops and what he called "insidious covert plans" to promote the gay agenda to young brains in schools.

He characterized homosexuality as unethical and unlawful.

'UnAfrican' Inclinations

Hamid added that influential lobby groups with ulterior motives were pressuring African Nations to support their agenda by pushing for legislation and the mainstream of homosexuality.

The mosque official expressed shock at the Supreme Court's decision to create a door for the vice to spread in Kenyan households under the pretence of human rights, even though homosexuality is un-African and offensive to local customs.

Hamid continued by saying that many Kenyans are now asking if the same judges may use the same reasoning to legalize organizations' promotion of other social vices like paedophilia or nudism, which are illegal under Kenyan law.


He urged the National Assembly to propose legislation that would make homosexuality illegal.

We request that members of Parliament create specific laws to support banning gay relationships in the Constitution and Acts of Parliament to serve Kenyans' wishes effectively, Hamid said.

Also, he made a plea to President William Ruto to oppose plots that had as their ultimate objective the legalization of homosexual partnerships.

He said, "Kenyans look to the President to lead them in rejecting these vices since he is a powerful voice against these societal evils.
