President Ruto has termed the recent ruling by the Supreme Court allowing members of the LGBTQ+ as unacceptable.
peaking on Thursday during the launch of the Women Enterprise Fund and the second product of the Hustler Fund at KICC, Ruto said Kenya is a religious country guided by morality.
“We have customs and traditions as well as the constitution. We respect all our religions. We cannot go down that path of allowing same-sex marriages. That is unacceptable in Kenya,” the president said.
The President said he will not allow the country to head in that direction.
“I’m a man of God. Even though we respect the Supreme Court, our religions and cultures do not allow a woman to marry a fellow woman or a man a fellow man,” he said.
He assured the gathering that the beliefs of the LGBTQ+ community would not be promoted in Kenya.
“I want to ask our religious leaders to mould our children so that we do not lose them to these beliefs,” Ruto added.
He also cracked up the audience, saying that foreign cultures were not welcome.
“I want to assure the women that I will not accept men to give you competition for husbands, where will you get husbands?” the head of state assured.
