Homabay Town MP Peter Kaluma has written to the National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula informing him about his intention to table a bill that will prohibit homosexuality and its promotion in the country.
In his letter, the legislator stated that he intends to bring legislation that will criminalize and propose punishment for homosexuals and others involved in unnatural sexual acts.
“I intend to bring a legislation to criminalize and punish homosexuality and other unnatural acts and to further criminalize the promotion of such acts in Kenya,” the letter reads in part.
Kaluma stated that his legislation will consolidate all existing laws relating to unnatural sexual acts.
He says that his proposed law will seek to increase the penalty for those convicted of engaging or promoting homosexuality.
“The proposed law intends to further the provisions of article 45(2) of the constitution of Kenya and to protect the family will not only consolidate all existing laws relating to unnatural sexual acts but also increase the penalty for those convicted of engaging or promoting the acts to imprisonment for life or commensurate sentence,” the MP says in the letter.
